The World Championship of the 15th steelChallenge took place online on 12 April 2021.
 
The competition took place remotely to follow social distancing guidelines of health authorities around the world.

It was an incredible opportunity to improve my knowledge about steelmaking and meet people around the world. I enjoyed steelChallenge and it will be helpful for working in the steel industry.”
