What the Event Covered
The FIRA Canada 2026 RoboWorld Cup & Summit brought together teams, researchers, students and spectators from the robotics, AI, education and innovation communities. Combining an international robotics competition, a summit and demonstrations, the event let participants see both technological achievements and how people of different ages and disciplines contribute to the next generation of intelligent technologies.
Prompthon took part in supporting the event. Its interest went beyond competition results to how AI and robotics can become subjects that the public can learn about, experience and discuss. For students and young people, attending real competitions and demonstrations can turn abstract ideas about future careers and interests in technology into practical paths they can observe and explore through conversation.
