Living Together, Living Safe



As Malaysian households increasingly welcome multigenerational living, creating a safe and supportive home environment has never been more important. That’s the heart of this year’s theme: “Living Together, Living Safe”.
MyRobotech Annual Challenge (MAC) invites students, families, and innovators to come together and design tech-driven solutions that make our homes safer for all generations. This innovation competition is more than just a challenge — it's a platform for creativity, collaboration, and real-world impact.
Whether you're a student with a passion for STEM or a family looking for a meaningful bonding experience, this is your chance to turn ideas into action.
Participants will work in teams to develop concepts — or even prototypes — that address everyday safety issues at home, from child protection to elderly care. It’s about using science and technology not just to solve problems, but to strengthen family connections and community well-being.
