WIT2024
The 9th World Innovative Technology Challenge
November 2-3, 2024, Jeonnam University (Yeosu)
Submitted: October 12, 2024
Introduction
The WIT (World Innovative Technology) Challenge is an educational initiative aimed at fostering innovation and creativity among students through project-based competition. The first WIT competition was established by Professor Joosun (Griffith University, Australia) in 2014 as one of the major events of the G20 Summit in Australia. Since then, each year, 100 to 200 students have participated in this exciting event, meeting many peers from different countries and sharing their innovative technologies and ideas. Unlike other competitions such as IRO or Robocup, the WIT Challenge places greater emphasis on developing students' innovation and creativity through presentations and technical contests.
