Our Team:

We offer all our students an integrated programme where they get to learn about both robotics and programming. Throughout the year, we participate in competitions and the students have opportunities for learning different aspects of robotics and programming. They also get to attend seminars and courses, like Vcamp organized by A*Star and programming courses conducted by Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

Our Activities:

In robotics, the students learn about LEGO Mindstorms as well as other proprietary robots, like robot racers and the Micromouse. The students also learn programming like C and Java. Various groups of students also attended courses organised by Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic, Science Centre and Institute of Technical Education as they prepare for the various competitions throughout the year. We also participated in programming contests and IT quizzes organised by different institutions.
