This programme provides a wonderful opportunity for students to learn robotics, gain hands-on programming experience, and prepare for the prestigious NRC, held annually by the Singapore Science Centre.

Event Highlights

• Interactive Robotics Training: Students will work directly with the Smorphi educational robot, learning how to program and integrate sensors.
• Creative Challenge: A fun and engaging Imaginary Challenge designed to develop problem-solving and teamwork skills.
• Competition Pathway: Students will take part in the NRC Qualifier Challenge, and successful teams will gain priority access to register and receive further training for 2026 NRC.
• No Coding Experience Needed: The program is designed for beginners and welcomes all students with an interest in technology and innovation.
• Participants will be grouped into teams of 5 on event day

Students who qualify through this event will gain priority access to competition registration and additional training in preparation for next year’s NRC. This training initiative is organised by Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and supported by the Changi Foundation.
