What Is WER?
Educational Robot Contests
World Educational Robot Contest (WER) is one of the largest educational robot contests in the world participated by more than 500,000 students from around 50 regions and countries in its school level, regional level, national level and world championship contests every year since 2013.

Growing Together
WERS and WER were founded by Dr. W. Yun of Abilix Shanghai and Professor Jake Mendelssohn of Connecticut Invention Convention in 2012. The core value of WER is to train students in the ability to succeed, to enrich their technological literacy, and to hone their technological genius through hands-on practices and contests.
