The FIRST Global Challenge has been held annually since 2017. During the COVID period it ran online only, yet teams from every country in the world still took part. The goal of the competition is to bring together young people passionate about the STEAM fields and robotics. We have been preparing the Hungarian team for the event since 2017. Our results so far:

In 2024 we became the first Hungarian team to compete at the FIRST Tech Challenge event in Romania. The team gained a great deal of experience there, which it put to use at the Hungarian FIRST Tech Challenge scrimmage we organised in 2025. Competing with the support of Robotics Infinity, the team won that event.
In 2025 the first Hungarian team entered the FIRST Robotics Competition event in Turkey. Their participation was supported by Robert Bosch Kft. In a field of 50 teams, the Hungarian team finished the playoff rounds in 4th place. We are proud of the team!
Thank you, Bosch, for your support!
For years we have also been preparing teams for the World Robot Olympiad. We enter and coach teams in the original Regular category — now RoboMission — as well as in the new RoboSport category. The international results our teams have achieved in recent years are collected in this table:
| Year | Location | Ranking |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Germany | 5th |
| 2023 | Panama | 8th |
| 2024 | Brescia, Italy | 3rd |
| 2025 | Singapore | 8th |
Balázs is constantly looking for approaches that bring mathematics and the natural sciences closer to students. That is what led him to explore the use of smartphones in education. He then turned to drones and robotics to examine their educational value, and he has since run trainings nationwide for students and teachers on mathematics, STEM and robotics education. He has coached teams for countless robotics competitions and is also active as a judge.
Kornél has been teaching robotics and programming since 2016, and is the head judge and designer of several national and international robotics competitions. He is an instructor at robotics workshops, trainings and camps. Alongside robotics and programming, developing young people's competencies has always been important to him. In his work he always places great emphasis on developing the skills connected to programming, not just on passing on knowledge. Thanks to his background as a project manager, he knows how to lead teams and handle a wide range of problems.
Sándor is an engineer, IT specialist and programmer who has been coaching teams for robotics competitions for almost a decade. He mentors team members precisely but playfully, getting the best out of them while taking into account each person's individual knowledge and competencies. Besides coaching for robotics competitions, he also teaches in higher education, lecturing on various programming languages and software development methodologies at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics.
We are passionate about education and about robots. We believe everyone should try programming and building a robot, because it helps you learn to think and to see the world from a new perspective. For us it is not only professional knowledge that matters, but the methodology and the perfect harmony between teacher and student.
We teach robotics, algorithmic thinking and programming — in small groups, in both online and offline formats.
We prepare primary and secondary school students for national and international competitions: World Robot Olympiad, FIRST Global Challenge, Robotex.
We help teachers develop their STEM competencies. We show how someone can become a successful robotics competition mentor, that is, a coach.
Organising national and international robotics competitions. We want to encourage children and young people to choose engineering and IT careers through robotics competitions.
