Build your bot. Plan your attack. Compete to win.
Botball starts with a workshop where teams learn to design, build and program their robots from scratch. Then teams have eight weeks to create a robot, plan a strategy and program to win.
The final showdown is a fast-paced competition where teams maneuver their robots on a game board through obstacles and challenges.
Note: Only secondary schools in Doha, Qatar are eligible to apply. Please note that lower and middle schools are not eligible to apply. Applications should be submitted by a school counselor or teacher. Unfortunately, applications from schools outside of the state of Qatar will not be accepted.
