On the 3rd of March 2016, 10 students from Liger Learning Center, including me got a special opportunity to go to Singapore to compete a robot competition, which is a global challenge that students would do all over the world. Every year, there’s always the different theme to compete on and this year challenge is Trash Trek. There are two different challenges to compete on the theme. One, is asked to define the problems and find creative solutions to the problems. The other one is robot programming, which allow us to make our own robot and program it.
There were over 200 teams from many different countries participated in the event and the event was hosted my the Canadian International School (CIS) in Singapore. I enjoyed the competition a lot because I get to see many other students coming up with many creative idea. I want to appreciate my team, known as Rebot that works together well enough that we each got a medal for 2nd runner-up for creative solution to the plastic issue.
Beside the competition, we also had a fun time together there. We bought tickets to go on hop on hop off bus to see the city, but we also got a pair of earphones each to listen to the audio of Singapore history. It was fun for me. I like Singapore and I am sure my friends also do. One of my favorite part was to ride on mass transportation like train and two floor bus because I have never got this experience before, but also tasting new food!
