The Beyond the BYTE – Robotic Competition-cum-National Selection for the Junior and Senior categories of the World Robot Olympiad (WRO) 2026 was successfully conducted today at the Innovation Hub, Arunachal Pradesh Science Centre. Organized by the Arunachal Pradesh Science Centre, the competition marked the culmination of the month-long Beyond the BYTE robotic training programme.
In the highly anticipated Senior Category, Shri Bar Ted secured the first position with 167 points, while former WRO National participant Miss Tagru Loli finished second with 152 points. In the Junior Category, Shri Millo Zilyu emerged as the top scorer with 125 points, followed by Shri Kishno Mera, who secured the second position with 110 points. The selected participants will now undergo further intensive training to strengthen their technical and programming skills in preparation for the World Robot Olympiad National Championship 2026.
Addressing the participants during the inaugural session, Shri Vivek Kumar, Curator, Arunachal Pradesh Science Centre, encouraged the young innovators to remain focused on their career aspirations and continue developing their technical and problem-solving abilities. With the Dera Natung Government College (DNGC) internship program successfully concluding today, he praised the outgoing interns for effectively utilizing the stint to gain practical knowledge.
The competition was conducted in three rounds in accordance with WRO 2026 standards. Before the commencement of each round, participants were provided with a dedicated trial period to test, calibrate, and fine-tune the programming and performance of their LEGO SPIKE Prime robots before undertaking the official run. The obstacle course was designed precisely to WRO 2026 challenge specifications.
As part of their final day of experiential learning, the DNGC interns, under the guidance of the Education Assistant and mentors of the Arunachal Pradesh Science Centre, played a significant role in the smooth conduct of the event. The interns were entrusted with maintaining the live scoreboard, recording time and points, monitoring obstacle-course penalties, assisting participants during the competition, and supporting overall event coordination providing them with valuable, culminating experience in science communication and event management.
Speaking during the valedictory session, Shri C. D. Mungyak, Director-cum-Member Secretary, APSCS&T, congratulated all the participants and DNGC interns for their dedication and active involvement throughout the programme. He also shared the Council's vision for expanding robotics education across the state and expressed confidence to the selected teams for the national level. He also encouraged participants who did not qualify to continue utilizing the facilities at the Innovation Hub to further enhance their skills and prepare for future editions of the competition.
The programme concluded with a joint valedictory ceremony for both the Beyond the BYTE LEGO SPIKE Prime Robotic Competition and the DNGC Internship Programme, followed by certificate distribution and acknowledgement of the contributions made by everyone involved as the interns wrapped up their final day.

The month long "Beyond the BYTE" robotic training programme for the World Robot Olympiad (WRO) is paving the way for a highly competitive selection process at the Innovation Hub. Organised by the Arunachal Pradesh Science Centre, the month-long foundational program commenced earlier on June 1st, 2026.

A total of 47 young participants from various districts across Arunachal Pradesh underwent intensive, hands-on training using the LEGO SPIKE Prime robotics platforms. The curriculum was specifically designed to strengthen their foundational knowledge in Robotics and programming, Engineering design principles, Advanced problem-solving and Team collaboration.

Over the course of the month, the young innovators engaged in practical sessions covering robot construction, coding, sensor integration, and challenge solving techniques explicitly aligned with the WRO 2026 guidelines. This year’s global WRO theme, "Robots Meet Culture," challenges students to explore cultural heritage and history through automation.

The current phase of training leads up to a high-stakes, in-house selection competition scheduled for July 5th at the Innovation Hub, AP Science Centre. Based on their performance during this internal trial, the top teams in both the Junior and Senior categories will be selected to represent Arunachal Pradesh at the WRO National Championship 2026.

Following the internal competition on July 5th, the selected teams from the Junior and Senior categories will advance to a preparatory phase. This subsequent training will focus on refining programming strategies and enhancing technical ex*****on to ensure the contingent is fully prepared for the competitive standards of the WRO National Championship 2026.

The Beyond the BYTE Robotic Training Programme has been conducted with the objective of nurturing innovation, computational thinking, and STEM learning among school students while preparing them to compete at the national level in robotics.

Session 7 of the ongoing Industrial Training Programme for students of Dera Natung Government College (DNGC) at AP Science Centre successfully concluded, focusing on Science Popularization and Student Interaction through targeted school outreach activities across the Itanagar Capital Region (ICR).

As a core component of their internship, the DNGC participants stepped into the roles of science communicators, visiting various local schools to engage younger students with curriculum-based experiments. The initiative aimed to simplify core scientific principles, bridge the gap between textbook theory and practical application, and promote experiential learning in the classroom.

During the outreach visits, the interns delivered interactive, hands-on demonstrations covering a diverse range of foundational topics, including - Acids, Bases, and Salts, Chemical Effects of Electric Current, Density, Force, Light and Optics, Electromagnetic Force.

Beyond benefiting the local school classrooms, the outreach initiative provided the DNGC interns with vital, real-world field experience. The sessions allowed them to actively apply the advanced communication, presentation, and experimental demonstration skills they developed during the earlier phases of their industrial training to spark scientific curiosity among the school students, making complex concepts tangible and highly engaging.
