The theme of this year’s Smart Drone is Innovate. Integrate. Impact. Teams should present their innovative idea, explain how it integrates drone technology with real-world applications, and highlight the positive impact it creates for society or the environment.
Students will work as a team to code your programmable drone to perform tasks under given mission scenarios in teams of two (2) to four (4) members. Each team must include at least one Singapore citizen to be eligible to participate.
