About Bett Asia School Challenge 2023

An exciting new initiative for 2023, the Bett Asia School Challenge is a Southeast Asia-wide competition for students aged 7-17, created to promote big-thinking and innovative ideas on a large scale, to help provide solutions for schools and education issues using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Program Details

Supported by iTrain Asia, the challenge aims to drive grassroots innovation in schools, and will allow students to showcase their solutions and ideas using four key skills:

✓  Critical Thinking

✓  Collaboration

✓  Creativity

✓  Communication

The challenge will ask students to imagine solutions for today’s problems to help tomorrow’s world across three unique design challenges based on three of the SDGs:

✓  Life below Water (SDG 14) for students aged 6-12

✓  Life on Land (SDG 15) for students aged 13-17

✓  Climate Action (SDG 13) for students aged 13-17

Students will work in teams of a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 10 on their chosen projects at school from mid-July and submit their final project

Eligibility

Registered teachers will be invited to attend two online sessions to better understand the challenge, ask questions, and get the right training on how to use a Google platform, which their students can use for the challenge.
