The annual National Olympiad in Informatics (NOI) invites students from all secondary schools and junior colleges in Singapore to compete against one another. The Online Qualification Contest, held on 19 February 2022, required participants to complete 3 tasks in 3 hours using programming languages Python and C++.

This year, any number of students from each school can participate. Of the many students who participated, only the top 5 students from each school, at each level, will be considered for medals.

We are proud to announce that 8 of our students have obtained medals in the Qualification Contest!

Presenting to you Coding Lab’s 25th NOI Qualification Contest medallists:

Congratulations and a big round of applause to all of our students! Their outstanding coding abilities in our classes got them selected for our intensive NOI Preparation Course (By Invite Only) - some of them even started with us in Primary school. Kudos to all of our students for their hard work!

Whilst we celebrate our students’ success in this area, we recognise that competitive programming is not all there is to programming. Many of our students have achieved success in other areas; whether it’s creating a Stock Rating Algorithm, a Real-Time Carpark Tracker, a prize-winning app or attaining an overseas scholarship to read Computer Science at University, we’re here to support our students every step of the way.

Interested to find out more? Check out our proprietary Python Meets Math course, which incorporates O and A-Level Mathematics for ages 13 to 18 to pick up one of the most versatile programming languages. We also have Advanced Elective courses, which includes Data Analytics, Algorithm, Game Development, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Secondary school and Junior College students.
