Amazon Cyber Robotics Challenge 2021. Amazon & Science Centre Singapore are hosting a series of complimentary, immersive robotics-themed workshops for primary & secondary school students, ahead of the National Robotics Competition.
To spark interest in science, technology, engineering & mathematics (STEM) at an early age, Amazon Singapore is collaborating with Science Centre Singapore to host the Amazon Cyber Robotics Challenge from now until 31 August 2021. Open to all primary & secondary school students in Singapore, the Amazon Cyber Robotics Challenge is a complimentary, virtual learning experience curated to develop children’s creativity, problem-solving skills & spark interest in STEM through immersive robot activities & games.
The Amazon Cyber Robotics Challenge will equip students with the tools & skills to learn & practice the basics of computer science & coding in the lead-up to the National Robotics Competition scheduled to take place this September.
The national robotics competition is an annual competition organized by Science Centre Singapore that has been running for 22 years. The Challenge consists of the Onboarding Introductory Programme & the CoderZ Coding Challenge (online competition).
The Onboarding Introductory Programme is open to primary (9- 12-year-old) & secondary school students (13-16-year-old). Through the Challenge, interested students can attend the onboarding workshops hosted virtually by Science Centre Singapore.
One of the tasks that participants will need to do is code an Amazon Hercules robot, to deliver a friend’s birthday present within an allotted time. As they digitally navigate through Amazon’s fulfillment center during the robotics game, they will discover how Amazon uses computer science daily to fulfill customer orders & witness how coding is applied in real life.

“STEM education has been a key focus at Amazon & as part of our community efforts, we are constantly looking for ways to empower individuals, especially children, to develop their interest & build their skills in science & technology. Coding is the language of the future & learning it early will give students the head-start to explore their passions,”. said Henry Low, Country Manager, Amazon Singapore.
Associate Professor Lim Tit Meng, Chief Executive, Science Centre Board, said, “The young minds of today are the mental giants of tomorrow & our ambition at Science Centre Singapore has always been to enable learners to realize their full potential. By deepening our collaboration with Amazon Singapore to host the Amazon Cyber Robotics Challenge, we are humbled to fuel their curiosity, nurture their spirit of adventure & exploration & spur their interest in STEM.
Amazon’s collaboration with Science Centre Singapore for the Amazon Cyber Robotics Challenge builds on their 2021 STEM pilot programme allowing primary & secondary school students free access to online courses to complement home-based learning amidst COVID-19.
