The “Robotacon Youtube Challenge 2021” contest with the theme “How Robots help farmers” is one of the first challenges to help young talents to develop scientific thinking and prepare basic knowledge for them to apply to science in the future.

This is the basic goal that the Robotacon Program Organizing Committee wants to give for PennSchool’s young students a useful playground and develop their passion in the STEAM. The competition also helps students to become global citizens by improving their thinking, creativity and problem-solving skills.

According to the organizers, this theme is the golden key to ensuring a high-quality food supply and coping with the negative impacts of climate change which affects agriculture. The students at PennSchool are the ones who have the responsibility to join hands to help everyone, help the country in the future. This is a practical arena, where young students show their talents and passion for STEAM Robotics to come up with creative solutions, use technology in robot assembly and get more experience.
