Dear @Home teams, there are still a couple of slots available for @Home Education challenge during the European RoboCupJunior Championship (EURCJ) 2018 http://www.robocupathomeedu.org/challenges/robocup-home-education-challenge… If you have a junior team (either high-school under 19, or undergraduate under 22) willing to participate, let us know and fill the pre-registration in the web page above. The challenge is in the format workshop+competition, not requiring specific experience on robot programming (just basic knowledge of Python and Matlab) and we'll provide robots to teams, so there's no need to bring one. Tasks are taken from RoboCup@Home rulebook, so these activities will also boost RoboCup@Home major teams. All the teams are recruited in these last weeks before the competition, and they will all be at the same level in terms or preparation. The winner will be "European RoboCup@Home Education Champion" and the prize will be given by President of RoboCup Federation Daniel Polani. There will be also other prizes.
