In order to align with the latest educational policies and nurture a new generation of talent proficient in generating innovative ideas and knowledge in technology, EdCity will hold the 25A Student Innovation Competition in the new school year. Drawing inspiration from hackathons, the competition will primarily involve submitting proposals and making online presentations.
- EdCity aims to inspire students through this competition, spark their innovative thinking, and enhance their collaborative skills. It encourages them to apply their technological knowledge to various sectors of society, using innovative ideas to address different challenges.
- The competition also seeks to increase students’ awareness of societal development, allowing them to explore and discuss the challenges they face, and to discover innovative solutions.
- It will establish a platform for communication and collaboration, strengthening connections and inclusivity among students in the Greater Bay Area.
Key Theme: Sustainable Development in Education
- Students should focus on educational and social issues, along with the challenges faced.
- They should consider what methods and proposals can help address these challenges.
