ONEWORLD ROBOTICS COMPETITION INTRODUCTION 

 

Robots will play a vital role in the world of the future, forming an integral part of our daily lives. The capabilities of robots are evolving rapidly well beyond basic repetitive tasks. Industrial robots of today possess enviable dexterity, strength and ability to learn at a speed and scale beyond human capacity. Robotic technology is permeating many aspects of our world, enriching the quality of life, creating unlimited potential for future societies.

With 75% of the fastest-growing occupations in the future requiring STEAM-related skills, robotic education presents an essential pathway for leaders of the 21st century. Robotics stimulates creativity, develops critical thinking, design thinking; encouraging students to pursue STEM-related studies and careers.

OneWorld Robotics Competition is designed to challenge students to apply robotics and STEM-related skills to solve real-world problems. The competition aims to inspire students to develop creative problem-solving skills, engage in collaborative teamwork and utilize effective communication, all of which are critical to students’ future success.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

​

The aim of OneWorld Robotic Competition is to explore the students’ resourcefulness in finding solutions to real-world problems utilizing robotic technology whilst encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork and effective communication.

Students will foster practical knowledge and application of the following skills: mechanical engineering, coding, time and project management, AI development, product design, iterative development processes and many more.

Participation at OneWorld Robotic Competition will create a network of cooperation in the development of teaching and learning of STEAM by awarding every student with an opportunity to master the robotic concepts, apply transferable skills to a wider context and create ideas and; finally become valuable members of the problem-solving world.

Built on the foundation of Dr Tony Wagner’s Seven Survival skills, OneWorld Robotic Competition offers the students the opportunity to solve real-world problems. With academically acclaimed essential 21st century skills applied through practical robotics, students will be equipped to face the challenges in the following areas:

​

• Agriculture

• Medicine

• Urban Traffic

• Smart Cities

• Energy

• Ocean Pollution

• Climate Change

​

Students will be evaluated and awarded for excelling in set categories. 

​

OneWorld Global winner will receive a monetary prize of USD 5,000. Winning teams in Future Skills categories will receive USD 1,000 for each category. The winning school will be awarded a full robotic learning classroom set including hardware, software, and professional development.
