The Categories
We present to you our assortment of 11 distinctive categories, where you can showcase
your prowess over STEM skills.
1. Robinson Challenge (Pure Sciences):
Named after the college’s first Principal, Mr Walter A. Robinson, this category revolves
around academic themes, covering the elements of pure sciences in a_ highly
competitive environment. It will ignite a fervour of learning in the delegates by testing
conceptual science in an entirely different manner. Being a compulsory category,
Robinson Challenge will be simulated in the compulsory categories’ time slot and allow
such a team capacity that a large number of delegates from each team will be engaged
at a time, decreasing the proportion of delegates that are roaming free on campus. The
category will eliminate teams at each stage, putting them head-to-head in the final round
in order to determine the winner of ACSEC’s flagship category.
2. Langland Research Prize (Environment):
Dedicated to the late Major Langland, our second compulsory category will have
delegates present innovative solutions for and debate on-modern environmental
problems, ranging from global warming to climate change and loss of natural habitat.
This will allow awareness to be created surrounding growing environmental concerns.
3. Fibonacci's Trials (Mathematics):
Mathematics is the highest form of pure thought. It is with this in mind that we have
designed this mathematics category. From proving age-old theorems to designing their
problems, delegates will experience pure mathematics to the fullest extent. The
concepts tested here, however, will be less focused onformulae and complex equations
and more on interesting problems that will encourage delegates to think out of the box
and put their mental prowess to the test.
4. Orion's Pursuit (Astronomy and Aerospace):
Astronomy categories have established a stereotype of requiring a generic space
settlement design. Breaking the wheel, Orion's Pursuit in its iteration will revolve around
two major space-centred themes: aerospace engineering and astronomy. Delving into
the knowledge of the cosmos and modifying it to their purposes,
delegates will act critically on the practical scenarios presented. This category will be
focused on testing delegates’ concepts of the workings of various celestial features,
from Mars’ geography to neutron stars, and on how well this astronomical know-how is
executed to produce practical results.
