EEE Teams won Silver and Bronze Awards in the 17th International Standards Olympiad competition. The competition was jointly organised by Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS) and the Korean Standards
Association (KSA). It aimed to promote awareness on the importance of standardisation for convenience and safety; and to enhance students’ scientific creativity by creating a platform for participating students to integrate creativity, scientific
knowledge, and technology; and explore new ways of standardisation.
The competition was held virtually from 23 to 25 Aug 2022 and comprised Middle School and High School categories. Enterprise Singapore endorsed two SP EEE teams to represent Singapore to participate in the High School category. Students
in the High School category were required to develop international standards related to Space Exploration Rovers. They were evaluated on the written assignment and the oral presentation on the international standards that the students had developed.
The High School category had a total of 20 competition teams from 7 countries (Korea, China, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, Rwanda and Singapore).
