\nOutReach<\/a>\u00a0– 28\u00a0May 2021 –\u00a0(NASDAQ:AMZN) – To spark interest in
\nscience, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) at an early age, Amazon\u00a0Singapore<\/a> is collaborating with
\nScience Centre Singapore to host the Amazon
\nCyber Robotics Challenge<\/b><\/a> from now until 31 August 2021. Open to all primary
\nand secondary school students in Singapore, the Amazon Cyber Robotics Challenge
\nis a complimentary, virtual learning experience curated to develop children’s
\ncreativity, problem-solving skills, and spark interest in STEM through immersive
\nrobot activities and games.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/release.media-outreach.com\/release.php\/Images\/Thumb\/500x0\/152383\/amazine-image.jpg#image-152383\")

\nChallenge will equip students with the tools and skills to learn and practise
\nthe basics of computer science and coding in the lead up to the National Robotics Competition<\/b><\/a> (NRC)<\/b> scheduled to take place this September.
\nThe NRC is an annual competition organized by Science Centre Singapore that has
\nbeen running for 22 years. <\/p>\n

\nOnboarding Introductory Programme and the CoderZ Coding Challenge (online
\ncompetition). The Onboarding Introductory Programme is open to primary (9- 12yrs
\nold) and secondary school students (13- 16yrs old). Through the Challenge,
\ninterested students can attend the onboarding workshops hosted virtually by Science
\nCentre Singapore. One of the tasks that participants will need to do is code an
\nAmazon Hercules robot, to deliver a friend’s birthday present within an
\nallotted time. As they digitally navigate through Amazon’s fulfilment centre
\nduring the robotics game, they will discover how Amazon uses computer science
\ndaily to fulfil customer orders and witness how coding is applied in real-life.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n

\nkey focus at Amazon and as part of our community efforts, we are constantly
\nlooking for ways to empower individuals, especially children, to develop their
\ninterest and build their skills in science and technology. Coding is the
\nlanguage of the future and learning it early will give students the head-start
\nto explore their passions. As such, we are delighted to broaden our
\ncollaboration with Science Centre Singapore to make STEM skills more easily
\navailable to students across the country, including children from
\nunderrepresented communities,” said
\nHenry Low, Country Manager, Amazon Singapore<\/b>. <\/b><\/p>\n

\nProfessor Lim Tit Meng, Chief Executive, Science Centre Board<\/b>, said, “The young minds of today are the
\nmental giants of tomorrow, and our ambition at Science Centre Singapore has
\nalways been to enable learners to realise their full potential.\u00a0 By deepening our collaboration with Amazon
\nSingapore to host the Amazon Cyber Robotics Challenge, we are humbled to fuel
\ntheir curiosity, nurture their spirit of adventure and exploration, and spur their
\ninterest in STEM. Experimenting with tools and robotics now will go a long way
\nin helping them build a future full of possibilities, inspiration, and
\ninnovation for themselves.”<\/p>\n
