Innokas programming and robotics tournament

The Innokas programming and robotics tournament is an competition geared toward schoolchildren, where elementary and middle-school-age children and teens (grades 1-9) compete in five Innokas events that apply robotics and programming skills: XSumo, Rescue, Dance/theater, GameDev, and Invention. The Innokas programming and robotics tournaments have been held since 2003.

Hundreds of children and young people participate in the Innokas tournament every year. Teams from schools, daycare centers, clubs, and even scout groups can participate in the competition. The tournament consists of regional tournaments held in March in different parts of Finland and a national remote event at the end of the tournament year, where the teams that have placed in the national evaluation of the tournament are awarded.  

The partners for the 2026 Innokas tournament are Enfuce and The Robotics Society in Finland.
