Top 15 Finalists and Best Documentation Award

A huge round of applause to our students, Team Carbon Footprint, for making it to the Top 15 Finalists and winning Best Documentation Award — and the opportunity to develop their hackathon ideas further with $3000 in seed funding!

Best Coding Award

Congratulations to our students for achieving the Best Coding Award at the Minecraft Cup 2019 in Tokyo, Japan! The transnational team consisted of students from Coding Lab Japan and Coding Lab Singapore.

1st Prize and Most Innovative Award

Congratulations to our students, Stephanie, Sandra and Yuxiu from CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' School whose project titled 'The Sounds of Singapore' came in at 𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 and also scored the 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 at this year's National [i.code] competition, triumphing more than 40 Secondary Schools who took part from all over Singapore!

2nd Prize (Beginner Category, Hackathon) and 2nd Prize (Advanced Category, Hackathon)

With Nature, Environmental Issues and Human Ecology as the hackathon theme, coming in 2nd place for the Beginner category was Adam’s utility app which calculates shower water usage based on water pressure — Very innovative indeed!

2nd Prize (Best Poster Award)

Competing with a global pool of participants, these 3 boys represented Singapore and flew all the way to MIT and clinched the 2nd Prize for the Best Poster Award - a FIRST for Singapore! Their app and poster was based on the rise of ride-hailing services and their associated risks, where the team sought ways to monitor and improve passenger safety. And so came the app “Roadsafe — A Better Driving Initiative”, which allows ride-hailing companies to objectively measure their drivers’ performance and safety profile.

1st Prize

Meet our three talents who have surpassed all expectations with their outstanding performance at the CXA 2019 Hackathon!

The CXA hackathon is organised annually by IMDA to challenge minds and inspire innovative solutions for current issues. The theme was “Digital Transformation for a Better World”, and the focus was on improving the sustainability of the world we live in with new innovative and transformative digital solutions. Participants addressed real-world challenges related to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Jake, 9, Catholic High School (Primary)

We are proud to have one of our students, Jake, featured on #ALittleSomebody, by Lianhe Zaobao 联合早报. An avid gamer, Jake capitalizes on his passion for computer games to formulate his own. At just the age of 9, the child prodigy has programmed many of his own games, ranging from his favourite game which he endearingly names Bat in a Bat game, a birthday app for his dad, to a minecraft inspired game for his little brother.

Surya, 14, Raffles Institution

Intrigued by financial markets at the tender age of 14, Surya incorporates his knowledge of Python to formulate a stock-trading algorithm, after attending our Masterclass in Data Analytics and Media Insights.

Ian, 14, Hwa Chong Institution

Utilising his coding skills for the greater good, our young student, Ian, is proud to conceive a meaningful app for the elderly all by himself. At just age 14, the Hwa Chong Institution (HCI) student has launched his very own app, Silver Plus, which fosters engagement within the elderly community.
