International Educational Partnership with BIBA Magnate School
By Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy
Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy and BIBA Magnate School Launch International Educational Partnership for 2026–2027 School Year
PITTSBURGH, PA and BEIJING
Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy and BIBA Magnate School have launched an international educational provider partnership for the 2026–2027 school year. Through the partnership, BIBA Magnate School educators will be trained to teach selected CMRA Certified K–12 Mobile Robotics courses and to certify students using CMRA’s research-based curriculum, instructional best practices, and pedagogy.
CMRA, part of 黑料正能量, develops research-based and classroom-tested robotics curricula designed to create CS-STEM learning opportunities for students. Its programs include educator professional development, student certification pathways, and course delivery through the CS-STEM Network.
BIBA Magnate School is an independently governed international secondary school operating within the Beijing International Bilingual Academy campus in Beijing, China. BIBA Magnate School is the flagship school division of The Magnate Global Education Network (TMGEN), which describes its mission as building world-class academic institutions and leadership cultures across the Asia-Pacific region. TMGEN emphasizes rigorous academic systems, global readiness, and carefully structured partnerships.
Under the agreement, CMRA will provide training and implementation support so that BIBA Magnate School educators can deliver selected mobile robotics courses with fidelity to the curriculum model and student certification requirements. The collaboration is intended to expand access to high-quality robotics education while supporting local instructional capacity through a train-the-educator approach.
"We are excited to partner with BIBA Magnate School to prepare educators to deliver high-quality, research-based mobile robotics instruction. Through this collaboration, teachers will be equipped to implement CMRA’s curriculum with fidelity and to create new opportunities for students to earn meaningful certifications in robotics and computational thinking."
— Jesse Flot, Co-Director, Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy
“BIBA Magnate School was designed from the ground up to prepare students for a world that demands more than academic knowledge — it demands applied leadership and technical fluency. Partnering with Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy brings one of the world’s most respected research-based robotics programs directly into our classrooms. Our students will not simply learn about robotics and AI — they will earn recognized certifications through a curriculum developed at one of the world’s leading universities. This is exactly the kind of partnership BIBA Magnate School was built to pursue.”
— Timothy J. Wedge, Ed.S., Co-Founder and President of Global Strategy and Culture, BIBA Magnate School / The Magnate Global Education Network
The partnership reflects a shared interest in equipping students with technical problem-solving, computational thinking, and applied robotics skills through structured, research-informed instruction. For the 2026–2027 school year, the organizations will focus on educator preparation, course implementation, and student certification opportunities.
