Three teams of two to four students, at least one of whom is a UAE national, will be selected to build a robot as a solution to a competition case study. EPG will provide AED5,000 (US$1,361.25) to each participating team to purchase the necessary materials to enable teams to bring their innovative ideas to life.
A notable element of the competition is the accompanying educational program, which will be held from September to November. Participating students will visit EPG’s facilities, including sortation centers and retail outlets, as well as the headquarters of participating technology partners, to gain first-hand insights into the logistics industry and the potential technological advancements that can be incorporated.
EPG’s partnership with the Ministry of Education demonstrates its commitment to nurturing talent and advancing the logistics industry. Backed by the Group’s technology partners Bayanat, SkyGo and STRATA, the ‘Logistics Unleashed’ program promises to unlock a world of new opportunities for participating students and the logistics industry.
All participating students who successfully complete the program will receive monetary awards, as well as trophies and certificates in recognition of their efforts. — trade arab news agency
