TeamViewer proudly hosted the second edition of its Cyber Robotics Competition, an educational initiative designed to ignite curiosity and build confidence in students exploring the world of coding and robotics.
This year’s program reached over 800 students across 22 schools in Germany and the United States, continuing TeamViewer’s commitment to expanding equitable access to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education.
The competition followed a structured four-phase approach to help students progress from beginner coding knowledge to solving advanced robotics challenges:
“Programming knows neither age nor gender. In light of the shortage of skilled professionals in STEM fields, it’s more important than ever to spark young people’s interest in technology early on. At TeamViewer, we aim to inspire curiosity and encourage them to explore the world of IT. Those who gain their first programming experience through a competition like this may be laying the foundation for a future where they actively help shape technological progress. I’m truly impressed by how engaged and creative the students were throughout the competition,” said Kai Werner, CHRO & Group General Counsel at TeamViewer.
The German leg of the competition concluded with a live award ceremony at the Goeppingen Stadthalle in late July. The competition brought together over 420 students from ten schools across Baden-Württemberg, including Stuttgart, Esslingen, and Oberkochen. Top honors went to an all-girls team from Ernst-Abbe-Gymnasium in Oberkochen, recognized for their teamwork, enthusiasm, and technical excellence
In addition to awards, students participated in interactive workshops designed to make robotics and coding tangible and exciting.
Earlier in the year, around 400 4th-6th graders from twelve U.S. schools took part in the competition. Using CoderZ’s gamified coding environment, students engaged in mission-based learning that emphasized hands-on tech exploration. They collectively logged over 2,350 programming hours—the equivalent of nearly 100 days—while developing collaboration, problem-solving, and inclusion skills. Students widely praised the experience as both fun and empowering.
The Cyber Robotics Competition aligns with TeamViewer’s broader c-a-r-e framework, an internal initiative to support equitable access to technology regardless of gender, age, or background. By promoting early digital education, TeamViewer is helping students envision a future in which they can thrive as tech creators—not just consumers.
