CoSpace and RoboMaker 2015

ABOUT THE COMPETITION

The Singapore National CoSpace and RoboMaker Challenges provides a unique learning journey for students with or without robotics and coding experience. Through the training workshops, students will gain the necessary knowledge and skills on robotics and coding. The challenges will excite and motivate students to take on more ambitious tasks. The ultimate goal of the CoSpace RoboMaker Challenges is to provide opportunities for participants to learn robotics and coding – skill sets that are necessary to enable Singapore to gear up as the world’s first Smart Nation.

The international CoSpace onLine (iCooL) Challenge 2015 provides an opportunity for students from around the world to participate in CoSpace Robotics Competition. Students can show off their work, and benchmark themselves in the world of CoSpace Robotics.

ROBOCUPJUNIOR DANCE CHALLENGE

RoboCupJunior Dance means one or more robots, human come together to present a 1 – 2 minutes stage performance (theatre show or dance) in a creative designed environment. The challenge is intended to be very open-ended. Teams are encouraged to use CoSpace Dance Simulator to create virtual robots and virtual environment to make the performance to be creative, innovative. You should make full use of robotics technology and interactive digital media to create the performance.

Age group: Primary, Secondary
