COSMOTE contributes to a better world for all, through investing in the development of children and young people’s digital skills from all over the country. How this is realized? COSMOTE, during the last 6 years, as a strategic partner of Non-Profit Organization of Educational Robotics and Science WRO Hellas, implements a series of initiatives in order to disseminate educational robotics and STEM (Science– Technology- Engineering– Mathematics) educational method. Until now, the students' participations in these initiatives have exceeded the 17,000.
Educational robotics is based on STEM, combining science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Through educational robotics initiatives, children develop skills necessary for their future, such as teamwork, creativity and critical thinking.
Every year, COSMOTE and WRO Hellas implement the Pan-Hellenic Educational Robotics Competition for kindergarten children, as well as for Primary school, Junior and Senior High- School Students.
