BACKGROUND The
Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) being the forefront in promoting and
advancement of the science and profession of engineering took up the challenge
to deliver series of higher quality STEM and STI activities for school students
and youth through digital classes, talks, hands-on activities and competition
since 2018. For
year 2022, IEM plans to conduct IEM
Online Robotic Challenge 2022 targeting
national level participation. This is inconsideration of
the COVID-19 pandemic and to adhering to mass gathering restriction. The IEM Online Robotic Challenge 2022
will involve online
workshops to introduce the students to the robotic
and innovation challenge, and then students with help from teachers and coaches
will look for or build and practice with robot that is
suitable for the challenge, record
video of the robot completing a preliminary task and finally
the best students compete in competition
online or through video streaming.
Competition
is open to all students from government and private primary and secondary schools and youth
