Junior Botball Masterclass 2026 - Bangkok
2nd May 2026
Location: Chulalongkorn University
A Student-First Introduction to Robotics, Coding & Competition
The Junior Botball Masterclass is an immersive, half-day learning experience designed to introduce students to the foundations of robotics, coding, and problem-solving through hands-on activities and guided instruction.
Drawing from the principles of the Junior Botball Challenge (JBC), the masterclass allows students to explore how robots are designed, built, and programmed to solve real-world–inspired challenges. Through practical sessions, participants develop essential STEM skills while strengthening creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking.
Built on experiential learning principles, the Junior Botball Masterclass encourages students to learn by doing, thinking, building, and collaborating. Suitable for beginners and aspiring competitors alike, it provides a clear pathway from learning and exploration to competition readiness, while building confidence and curiosity beyond the classroom.
