Held at The Els Club in Dubai, the ParOne STEAMathalon saw teams of talented youngsters take part in a competitive golf tournament using their artificial intelligence (AI) GolfBots. Each team used the skills and knowledge learned in science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) classes to build, maintain and control their advanced AI GolfBots.
ParOne STEAMathalon is designed to nurture young talent in the field of AI, instil a love of creativity and engineering among the students and boost their technical, teamwork and interpersonal skills as they overcame a series of challenges.
Innovative programmes such as the ParOne STEAMathalon complement BMW Group’s long-standing global commitment to initiatives that enable young minds to reach their full potential through a combination of exciting, educational and industry-focused events.
