Robothon is more than an event—it is a brand, a movement, and a growing community dedicated to empowering young minds through real-world learning and purposeful innovation. Built on a strong educational philosophy, Robothon provides students with hands-on opportunities to explore technology, solve meaningful challenges, and shape a brighter future.
At the heart of the Robothon is ROBO, a learning philosophy that guides every project, challenge, and experience:
R – Real World: Students engage with authentic, meaningful problems inspired by global issues and local needs.
O – Observe: Learners develop curiosity and awareness by examining how systems, people, and technologies interact in daily life.
B – Build: Teams design and create solutions using robotics, coding, engineering, and creativity—turning ideas into real prototypes.
O – Optimize: Students refine, test, and improve their creations, learning the value of iteration, resilience, and continuous improvement.
Designed as a thematic challenge platform, AIROC invites learners to explore real-world issues of today and craft creative, impactful solutions that mirror the demands of modern engineering and science.
Held annually at state, national, and international levels across the ASEAN region, AIROC champions STEM-based excellence while nurturing future-ready thinkers, makers, and problem solvers.
