As Singapore Government SM1/2 scholars, we came from China to Singapore to study when we were young. Although we are now working in different industries, we find the knowledge of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is so relevant and useful, that we wished we could had came to know it earlier. In the current era of AI, we decided to express our gratitude to Singapore by organizing Robotics Innovation Challenge (RIC), a Singapore-based annual international robotics event to inspire and nurture future AI talents locally, and showcase the world-class STEAM education in Singapore globally. 

The event supervisor, Asst. Prof Feng Mengling from NUS Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health (SM2 1997 Batch), has been organizing SG Healthcare AI Datathon & Expo since 2017, in collaboration with professors from National University Health System and MIT Critical Data. In 2020, the event has attracted thousands of participants from over 20 countries and 150 different organizations.
