ignitED competition - Young Entrepreneurs Quest

 

About ignitED Competition

Towards the development of young Egyptians, PDF introduced its first STEM competition which is designed by Engineeius®, to increase awareness of different topics and problems affecting our community in a fun, engaging, and competitive way. PDF has selected a unique topic to be the theme of the competition each round and identified several problems within it, that should be addressed by the competing teams of children to find smart innovative solutions using latest technologies. 

Competition Theme

1st Round Competition Theme Destination Egypt

Egypt, home to ancient wonders and breathtaking landscapes, is a magnet for tourists worldwide. However, in the modern era, there is a need to blend historical allure with technological innovations to augment the touristic experience. The competition challenges participants to harness robotics and mobile apps to elevate tourism in Egypt, making it more interactive, efficient, and memorable.

“Revitalizing Egyptian Tourism with Robotics and App Development Solutions”

Why Destination Egypt ?

Tourism plays a pivotal role in Egypt's development and prosperity for a multitude of reasons:

  • Economic Impact
  • Cultural Preservation
  • Cultural Exchange
  • National Image and Soft Power
  • Regional Development
  • Foreign Investment and Infrastructure Development
  • Employment Opportunities

Who Should participate?

This competition is dedicated to young Egyptians/students of ages 12 to 16 from public and private schools in Cairo and Giza, to empower their abilities to elevate tourism in Egypt through Robotics & App Development solutions. The competition is designed to host 400 participants allocated to teams of ten.
