Drone Odyssey Challenge is an exciting game-based competition that promises plenty of fun! It inculcates technical skill sets, critical thinking, and an appreciation of new and disruptive technologies relevant to the modern world. Open to students from the Primary, Secondary and Tertiary levels, this competition will see participants working together in teams to code their programmable drones to transform them into Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) capable of performing tasks under given scenarios.
A series of workshops and live demonstrations have been specially developed for both students and mentors to complement their learning journeys leading up to the competition proper. Drone Odyssey Challenge is organised by Science Centre Singapore, EP Tec Solutions PTE LTD and Association of Drone Soccer Singapore (ADSS), with support from the Ministry of Education (MOE) and various partners.
