- Exposure to Local Talent
Direct School Admissions-Recognised (DSA)
The National Robotics Competition (NRC) is the largest local robotics competition event in Singapore that spans across different age groups, from 5 to 18 years old. It is a prestigious competition that is recognised and remains a staple for DSA applications. Students can participate in different competitive events that uses different robotics systems and sets under the NRC such as KUBO Robotics, Arduino Education, LEGO Education and more. Each season starts in May and ends in September the same year.
Certificates of participation & Awards from NRC are internationally recognized and good to have in the portfolio for Direct School Admission (DSA) or other Scholarship applications.
Exposure to Local Talent
Every year, schools in Singapore will send their best teams to compete in the event. Participants will get to meet and befriend local talent in robotics. Teams will also be exposed to others' strategies and gain priceless experience.
The competition allows our local talent to build confidence in order to compete internationally one day.
National Robotics Competition - NRC Junior Robotics
NRC Junior Robotics is a rules-based competition where students design, build and program a robot that will solve missions on a playfield.
