Participating Schools Check for new updates here! Energizer Battery ordering form   ::Information excerpted from the Science Centre.   NJRC's Webmaster Wrote... Organized by the Singapore Science Centre, sponsored by MOE and A*STAR annually, the NJRC has grown, since its inception in 1999, from 167 teams to more than 700 teams participating last year. The overwhelming feedback and anticipation from the schools have truly encouraged us to make the NJRC 2003 a bigger and better event, this year! The NJRC is all about problem-solving skills, through the creativity thinking and independent-learning of students. The competition uses the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robotics kit and students take on the challenge of forming a team to work together on (1) assembling a robot; (2) programming the robot; (3) designing a web page; (4) conducting research; (5) building team spirit and, espirit de corp; and (6) out-perform the other robots. Ultimately, the teams will present their entire learning process in the form of a team Journal. The top prize, the Championship Award, will be presented to the team with the best Journal. More importantly, the NJRC will be an excellent opportunity for students to interact with their peers, teachers and judges, who are from tertiary institutions and various industries during the course of the competition. The NJRC is about celebrating the process of learning through interactive, meaningful experiences.   The NJRC is open to 2 categories of students : (i) Upper Primary (Primary 4 to Primary 6) (ii) Lower Secondary (Secondary 1 and Secondary 2) Teams of not more than 5 students will perform a variety of challenging tasks and work together in order to fulfil the mission of the competition. Teams will be mentored by a teacher or parent. Their funds could be raised from the community around them. The technology know-how and entrepreneurial skills can be imparted or learned from industry partners. However, the students will be the programmer and researcher working on the project, NOT the parents, teachers or tutors. It is a students' event, with the support from the schools and community. Various awards will be presented to outstanding teams in the various aspects of the competition. The Best Performance Robot at the Finals will be competing with teams in the Robotics Olympiad in Seoul, Korea, this year. The highest honour will be the Championship Award, where the winning team will be selected based on the best Journal submission, illustrating their Overall Learning Experience. The winners of the coveted Championship Award will win a once-in-a-lifetime trip to visit the world's top Science Centres (such as the Exploratorium, USA) and theme parks, such as Universal Studios, Disneyland and Legoland, USA. If your school did not take part in NJRC previously, we would strongly urge you to participate this year. If you have taken part before, we encourage your greater participation by sending in more teams!   We look forward to your participation in this year's exciting and challenging NJRC!
