Description

With a central focus on raising youth awareness around technology and robotics, Plaisio Computers successfully completed the fourth consecutive edition of its flagship competition, “Plaisiobots,” strengthening the connection between education, innovation, and the principles of sustainability.

The theme of the 2024–2025 competition, “Plaisiobots: The Race 3.0,” was inspired by the United Nations’ 11th Sustainable Development Goal for Sustainable Cities and Communities, encouraging students to think creatively about urban challenges and the solutions that technology can offer.

The competition was open to middle and high school students from across Greece, without requiring prior knowledge of robotics, promoting equal access to educational experiences and the enhancement of digital skills.

Plaisiobots is not just a technological challenge—it is an educational experience with social and environmental impact, fostering critical thinking, collaboration, innovation, and empathy among young people.
