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 received free training in Google tools and AI to develop projects with their teams from Bett Asia partner Digital Camp.
