RoboRise: Women in Engineering Robotics Challenge
RoboRise: Women in Engineering Robotics Challenge
RoboRise 2026: Women in Engineering Robotics Challenge is a hands-on robotics competition designed to encourage students to explore engineering, robotics, programming, and innovation. The activity will provide participants with an opportunity to design, build, and program their own robots and compete in practical robotics challenges. The competition will include challenges such as line following, obstacle navigation, and other task-based robotics activities that test creativity, problem-solving, and technical skills. A special focus will be placed on encouraging girls and young women to participate in robotics and develop confidence in engineering and technology. IEEE WIE members and female engineering students will serve as mentors and volunteers, providing participants with guidance and exposure to real-world engineering pathways. The event will also include an interactive session on careers and opportunities for women in robotics, engineering, and emerging technologies. Through teamwork, competition, and mentorship, the activity aims to create an inclusive environment where participants can learn by building and gain practical engineering experience. The event will conclude with recognition of outstanding teams and participants, encouraging them to continue pursuing STEM education, innovation, and engineering careers.

Agenda
The event will begin with registration and team check-in, followed by an opening ceremony and an introduction to IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE). Participants will then attend a short robotics orientation covering the competition rules, safety guidelines, and challenge formats. The first competition will be the Line Following Robot Challenge, followed by an Obstacle Navigation Challenge. After a short break and networking session, participants will attend a Women in Robotics career and mentorship session featuring female engineering professionals and WIE members. The event will then continue with a Robo Rescue or task-based robotics challenge, followed by an Innovation Showcase where teams will demonstrate their robots and explain their engineering concepts. The competition will conclude with the final round, judges' evaluation, results announcement, awards and certificates distribution, closing remarks, and group photography.
