Wan Yu Hang Wesley, 11, Singapore | Advanced Computer Scientists Project Showcase | ICS 2022
Wan Yu Hang Wesley, 11, presents his Python coding project ‘YouTube Simulator’ for Coding Lab’s International Coding Showcase 2022.
"This project is inspired by Rotube Life on Roblox. The YouTube Simulator game is a simulated experience that allows players to take on the role of a popular YouTube creator. Players have the ability to create videos, upgrade skills, use the computer to keep a social media following and manage their subscriber base. The game requires strategic planning to succeed." - Wan Yu Hang Wesley
Wan Yu Hang Wesley’s project and video presentation earned him a Distinction and Judges' Choice (Most Innovative) in the Advanced Computer Scientists category.
Xavion Mirchandani, 11, Singapore | Advanced Computer Scientists Project Showcase | ICS 2022
Xavion Mirchandani, 11, presents his Python coding project ‘EncryptionX’ for Coding Lab’s International Coding Showcase 2022.
"Encryption X is a simple multifunctional encryption software that doubles as a text software. It encrypts by first reversing the text provided, then putting 3 random characters every two characters, and lastly ASCII shifts to a key that is randomly generated or manually put in depending on whether you are using key-mode or auto-mode. The encryption software supports opening files that use UTF-8 encoding. It supports .txt, .rtf, and file types like this. It can also save into these file types." - Xavion Mirchandani
Xavion Mirchandani’s project and video presentation earned him a Distinction and Judges' Choice (Best Presentation) in the Advanced Computer Scientists category.

Lau Rei Yan Abigail, 12, Singapore | Advanced Computer Scientists Project Showcase | ICS 2022
Lau Rei Yan Abigail, 12, presents her Python coding project ‘Scissors Paper Stone’ for Coding Lab’s International Coding Showcase 2022.
"My project was based on a game that I like to play with my friends --- ‘Scissors, Paper, Stone’. I was inspired to create this game as I wanted to put a fresh twist to this traditional game played by children from many generations. Many of such games are lost in the midst of online games. I hope by designing this game, more young people would be introduced to this game and would pick it up again and enjoy this as much as I have! " - Lau Rei Yan Abigail
Lau Rei Yan Abigail’s project and video presentation earned her a Distinction in the Advanced Computer Scientists category.
