Fresh from the editor’s desk comes our first-ever winners’ interview for the year, an exclusive sit-down with the team that took home the Best Hardware Hack at NUS Hack & Roll 2026, organised by NUS Hackers. As some of the youngest participants, the team consisting of Soham Bhole, Anish Srivastava, Loh Yu Shern, and Winston Aang (all 14 years old), went up against 809 other contestants, largely university undergraduates at Singapore’s largest and most prestigious student-run hackathon and emerged victorious after their stand-out project was evaluated by 156 judges. 

Their winning project brings the invisible to life: an educational and experimental system that makes Wi-Fi visible and interactive. Through a custom graphical interface, their solution detects Wi-Fi signals, visualises interference in real time, and helps users better understand how wireless networks work, turning a complex concept into an intuitive learning experience.

In this interview, the team shares their journey, standout moments, and lessons learned with the Coding Lab Community team. Let’s head behind the scenes!
