Description

Our Future Transport program is designed to engage students in the exploration of emerging transport technologies through real-world challenges. Interactive workshops cover autonomous vehicle programming, drone delivery route planning, and AI-driven transport systems. While the majority of our programs emphasize utilizing the features of the latest AI technologies, this particular program distinguishes itself by concentrating on the development of custom AI behaviors and decision-making processes. Through STEM learning and design thinking, students will examine the ethical, environmental, and societal impacts of transport innovations. The program culminates in a pitch where students present their smart transport solutions, incorporating the use of drones and robots.
