RoboBowling Challenge

Love robots? Ever wondered how it is like to control one? Here’s your chance! Creative Minds presents the RoboBowling Challenge, held in conjunction with the 6th Private and International School Fair.

The challenge requires you to control a robot, whose sole purpose of existence is to knock down bowling pins using - you guessed it - a bowling ball. Of course, it’s not that simple! First, you will be given the option to select from 1 of 3 bowling robots, each designed to bowl differently. Then you will have to maneuver the robot to pick up the bowling ball before attempting to bowl the pins through a challenging course. 

We understand that this will be your first time, and as such, you will be provided 3 attempts in the challenge and your best score is recorded. Participants with the 3 highest scores will walk away with cool prizes.

The RoboBowling Challenge will be held on 7 November 2015, from 11.30am to 12.30pm and 8 November 2015, from 2.30pm to 3.30pm. Register your interest at Creative Minds’ booth (#160) at the 6th Private and International School Fair. Hurry, slots are limited!

The 'Air' Experiment

Air pressure is one of those things that are strange because we can't see it, yet it is really powerful. It holds up airplanes, blows down trees, etc. Gakken Classroom will show you how a real giant hovercraft works!
