Bett Asia is proud to host the second edition of the School Challenge. The competition, open to students from South East Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam) aged 7-17, was created to promote big thinking and innovative ideas on a large scale, providing solutions for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Participating teachers will receive free training using Google tools and AI to develop projects with their teams.
The challenge aims to drive grassroots innovation in schools, and will allow students to showcase their solutions and ideas using four key skills:
