Events & Competitions

National Robotics Competition (NRC) Singapore is one of the nation’s largest and most prestigious robotics competitions, bringing together students to design, build, and program robots to complete exciting challenges. Participants apply engineering concepts, programming skills, and creative problem-solving as they work in teams to tackle real-world inspired missions. NRC provides students with a platform to showcase their innovation, teamwork, and technical abilities while gaining valuable experience in robotics and STEM.

Coding Olympics Singapore is a national competition that challenges students of various age groups to showcase their programming and problem-solving skills. Participants engage in a series of tasks that test their abilities in coding, algorithm design, and logical thinking using languages like Python, JavaScript, or Scratch. The competition typically features individual and team events, where students solve coding challenges or develop projects based on a given theme. The Coding Olympics aims to inspire young learners, boost their interest in computer science, and enhance their coding skills in a fun, competitive environment.

The Hwa Chong Info-communications Challenge (HCIC) is a competition for primary school students in Singapore, focusing on coding, computational thinking, and problem-solving. Participants tackle quizzes on programming concepts and a problem-solving section that tests their skills in areas like Python coding and algorithms. The challenge aims to cultivate early interest in STEM and develop logical thinking abilities in a competitive but supportive environment.

IDE (Innovation, Design and Engineering) Series is a national technology and engineering competition event. The aim of the competition is to challenge students on problem solving across domains such as electronics, programming, and mechanical design. These challenges vary from year to year, but the emphasis on innovativeness, design element and engineering remains at the heart of the competition.  

The World Robot Olympiad (WRO) is an international robotics competition where students from around the world design, build, and program robots to solve specific challenges. The event includes several categories, such as Regular, Open, and Advanced Robotics Challenges, each focusing on different aspects of robotics and STEM skills. Each year, the competition is based on a new theme related to real-world issues, like sustainability or smart cities. WRO encourages creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork, aiming to inspire young minds to pursue careers in science, technology, and engineering. 

FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is a global robotics competition that inspires kids ages 9-16 to explore STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) through hands-on learning. In the competition, teams design, build, and program LEGO robots to complete specific missions on a themed obstacle course. Alongside the robot game, participants also work on an innovation project where they research a real-world problem and develop a solution. The competition emphasizes core values like teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving, making it an engaging way for kids to develop STEM skills and confidence.
