The PCTO (Percorsi per le Competenze Trasversali e l’Orientamento or, Pathways for Transversal Skills and Orientation) that runs rings around you

The Onit Sumobot Cup is a robot combat tournament, designed and organised as the grand finale of the Pathways for Transversal Skills and Orientation (PCTO) carried out in the company by Cesena High School students.

How our PCTO works

Our Pathways for Transversal Skills and Orientation are open to students in Grade 4 of the city’s upper secondary schools.

During their time at the company, students have the opportunity to be accompanied by professionals from the IT world, see the practical applications of what they studied at school and acquire a series of new skills, both technological and non-technological.

But that’s not all! Time with us also involves the students being divided into teams to work on the assembly and programming of robots that, at the end of the Pathways for Transversal Skills and Orientation (PCTO), will climb into the ring of the Onit Sumobot Cup.

The Onit Sumobot Cup

Having become a fixed event on the autumn calendar, the Onit Sumobot Cup has always been held in the Auditorium of the Unibo Campus in Cesena. In the ring set up for the occasion, the teams and their robots clash to win the prizes up for grabs for their school, all in front of an audience composed of teachers, classmates and friends.

In addition to the robo-combatants, the event also includes a series of speeches on innovation and, most importantly, an orientation on the IT-themed degree courses offered by the University of Bologna.

The Onit Sumobot Cup is thus a mix of fights between robots, a passion for technology, highly-innovative speeches and university orientation.

In short, a big IT-themed party!
