Introduction
This program is to empower secondary school students (Form 2 to Form 4) with the knowledge and skills to apply artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and data science in solving real-world social challenges. Through hands-on projects in areas like healthcare, environmental sustainability, and disaster response, the program fosters innovation, critical thinking, and practical impact—while inspiring interest in STEM and AI-related careers.
Competition Theme
In this competition, you will work in a team to create a project using Machine Learning (ML) and data science. Your goal is to choose a real-world problem related to the listed 10 goals of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as health, education, poverty, climate change, or clean water.
You can use AI, ML, and data science tools to find patterns, make predictions, or provide useful insights. The project should show how technology can make a positive impact on people or the environment.
