Union Bank has announced the call for entries into the 2021 Next Robotics Legend programme as part of initiatives under its Edu360 umbrella.
Introduced in 2020, the programme was designed to identify and train young inventors in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics, and was developed in partnership with Awarri, a pan-African artificial technology company owned by Silas Adekunle – top international robotics engineer renowned for creating the world’s first intelligent gaming robot.
During the entry period, which runs from August 9 to August 23, video submissions will be accepted via Union Bank’s website from parents and guardians of eligible students between the ages of 11 and 16. After the short-listing stage, 40 students with the most creative and passionate entries will be selected to participate in the two-week boot camp, during which they will receive a tablet with preloaded information; a MekaMon, and access to seasoned tutors for the programme duration.
