What you need to know about Bett Asia School Challenge 2023 for Students in Southeast Asia
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).
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
ELIGIBILITY
Finalists will be approached individually so that they can arrange their travel as early as possible.
