Winning 3 Platinum Medals (Top Awards) – Hwa Chong Infocomm Challenge 2023!
We are thrilled to extend our heartfelt congratulations to our exceptional students, Chen-Xuan, Emrys and Prabir, who have achieved remarkable accomplishments in this year’s Hwa Chong Infocomm Challenge 2023! 🏆
Chen-Xuan, Emrys, and Prabir have each earned the prestigious Platinum award, the highest honour bestowed upon the top 1.5% of participants.
Such incredible achievements have brought forth a multitude of opportunities for our students. We acknowledge the results of our numerous Coding Lab students who also achieved a medal in 2023! Many of them have received confirmed DSA offers from their preferred schools, including esteemed institutions like NUS High, Hwa Chong Institution and SJI, among others.
These sterling results for HCIC 2023 not only continue the legacy of excellence but also magnify it. Our students have perpetuated the outstanding tradition, setting a high bar since Jun Ray’s achievement of securing 1st Position in the challenge back in 2019. We’re thrilled to note that this remarkable journey persists, with our 7 Platinum and Gold winners marking our triumph in HCIC 2022. We’re elated to witness our students’ growth, celebrate their feats, and stand by them in their journey of achievements. To all our extraordinary students, we extend our wholehearted congratulations once again! 💚
Our students started coding with us from as young as 7 years of age, starting from Scratch and we are thrilled to see their efforts and coding abilities being recognised. We are also happy to see our students’ abilities being recognised after displaying their outstanding projects and winning awards in our International Coding Showcase (ICS) 2022!
Amidst the celebration of this competitive arena, we are mindful that competitive programming is but a facet of the expansive programming landscape. Our students have ventured far beyond these boundaries, embarking on projects that span from crafting a Stock Rating Algorithm, a Real-Time Carpark Tracker, to creating a prize-winning app or attaining an overseas scholarship to read Computer Science at University. Whatever it is, we’re steadfastly committed to supporting our students’ every endeavor.
