3d-tronics is back for 2021/2022. This competition is a platform for children from all walks of life aged 8 – 15 to learn coding, digital making, computational thinking and how to build/code prototypes to solve different problems posed. The main objective for this competition is to provide all children, regardless of background, the opportunity to learn coding, digital making and computational thinking.
The theme for this year’s competition: “Making use of Technology to Build Resilience in a Covid Endemic Singapore”. Participants will have to use their microcontroller kit to create a prototype that will address the above problem statement. We believe this theme is relevant and allows young Singaporeans to make a difference together, given our current circumstances, seize opportunities and help take Singapore forward. By developing solutions to counter adversity, we hope this is an opportunity for students to draw strength from one another, build resilience and develop solutions to help the community.
To help students accomplish the above, we will be conducting free 3-hour workshops for all participants from Dec 2021 to Mar 2022. Students from lower income families will also be provided with a free microcontroller kit. To ensure students have learnt sufficiently during the workshop, the 3D-Tronics Challenge culminates in a competition where students can use their microcontroller kit to solve challenges posed, showcase what they have learnt, pique their passion in digital making, coding and win prizes/recognition in the process.
