The category of smart cities will challenge the students to come up with solutions to the problems of our cities of the future.
Subjects to contend with will include transport congestion, pollution, environmental sustainability and over-crowding. The Autonomous Vehicle will be a solution to many of these problems and students will consider the technical, legal, social and ethical solutions, including privacy and cybersecurity risks, through their technical application of robotics. The students will consider the Autonomous Vehicle as a solution to relieving congestion.
A panel of industry leaders will judge the students based on Dr Tony Wagner’s 7 Survival Skills, critical thinking and problem solving; collaboration across networks and leading by influence; agility and adaptability; initiative and entrepreneurialism; effective oral and written communication; accessing and analysing information and curiosity and imagination. The Global Competition will be held in March 2020, with the top three teams competing against one another.
