Transportation Details
To ensure our students can fully participate in this enriching experience, a dedicated bus will be available to collect students from the East campus at 1:15 PM on the 20th of October. The bus will transport them to the SMART Factory for a 2:00 PM start.
The event will conclude at 4:15 PM, at which point the bus will collect the students from the SMART Factory and return them safely to the East campus.
What to Expect
During this event, participants will have the incredible opportunity to tour the state-of-the-art Hyundai Motor Group's SMART Factory and farm. This tour is not only an eye-opener to the world of advanced manufacturing but also a chance to witness cutting-edge innovation in action.
As part of the tour, our students will receive a collection of guest lectures from leaders in innovation. These industry experts will share their insights, experiences, and visions for the future, providing invaluable knowledge to our young minds. The heart of the event lies in the Hackathon, where students will tackle the intriguing theme of logistics using mBot robotics. This challenge encourages problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork as participants work together to break down and sort various shapes and objects into their respective crates.
