The RPA summer challenge is meant to give an introduction to programming robotics and Robot Framework. The challenge is made possible by Knowit. 

After the summer we have a virtual meeting in order to study the challenge solutions together, present a few alternative solutions and have a Q&A with Knowit specialists. This meeting will be held in Finnish on August 26th from 4pm to 6pm. Questions and answers will be published after the meeting in English.
