From technology and the arts to sports and academic forums, each activity brought meaningful lessons, empowering students to continuously discover and unlock their own potential.

Drone Challenge – The first step toward technological thinking

Launched on January 14, 2026, the Drone Challenge offered Primary students an exciting technology playground where learning was transformed into vivid, hands-on experiences. In each round, students were required to pilot drones along pre-programmed routes and land precisely at designated targets. This mission may seem simple, but it’s actually a challenge that requires students to apply focus, patience, and strategic thinking at every step.

Beyond drone control, students also had to measure distances, determine directions, and continuously adjust flight paths to overcome obstacles. Through this process, they gradually strengthened their STEM thinking while developing observation skills, logical reasoning, and problem-solving abilities. More than just a competition, the Drone Challenge opened the door to a growing passion for science, technology, and the exploration of the world around them.
