Innovation Spotlight

Building Solutions for Real-World Problems.

Last year, our Grade 9 cohort designed an AI-driven rover capable of navigating rough terrain without human input. Using ultrasonic sensors and gyroscope stabilisation, the bot successfully navigated the district level obstacle course.
