Nurturing the next generation of AI talents

Our Story

In the current era, it is very important for students to know more about AI and robotics when they are young. To increase their awareness, we are 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.
