SCSE Computing Challenge 2022

The 4^th SCSE Computing Challenge 2022 was conducted with the participants presenting an Artificial Intelligence and Robotics-motivated problem using an MBot and a Raspberry Pi fitted with a camera module. 

The event is open to all Junior colleges in Singapore.

The challenge ran for a period of 4 weeks, during which participants were tasked to develop a suite of algorithms and program the robot so that it can adapt to changing scenarios and instructions in a real-life environment.

The participants were encouraged to develop a core program that is dynamic and built upon to realise more diverse capabilities across different circumstances. 

The competition consisted of a training held on 10 December 2021 and the finals on 8 January 2022.  A total of 6 schools registered with 8 teams.

The robot was judged on its ability to fulfil the requirements of the shortlisting challenges through an objective grading rubric. The teams selected to the final challenge will have to showcase their tinkering phase along with a demonstration and presentation.
