The Hwa Chong Infocomm & Robotics Society (HCIRS) is a home for those with a keen interest in information technology, robotics, engineering, and the like. It has 5 sections:

Competitive Programming

Why learn competitive programming? It’s the easiest way to demonstrate your prowess with data structures and algorithms during technical job interviews, and make you an attractive hire.

It is recognized and supported by several multinational software companies, such as Google and Facebook, to make their software more resource-efficient. Competitions generally involve solving logical or mathematical problems, with creative algorithms which are then implemented in code.

This is why at IRS Competitive Programming, we teach you a wide variety of basic to advanced algorithms and data structures, as well as how to tweak them for various use cases to prepare you well for interviews or competitions.

Cybersecurity

The IRS Cybersecurity section aims to teach members basic and advanced techniques to infiltrate vulnerable applications and find hidden information. We nurture young white hat hackers who excel at penetrating systems to improve cybersecurity for everyone. We participate frequently in online Capture-The-Flag events where we sharpen our skills, and we have won the champion and 1st runner-up titles for the Cyberthon, DSTA CDDC, Whitehacks, and STACK the Flags CTFs that were held locally. We also recently held our very own CTF, Sieberrsec CTF, aimed at secondary school students. Join us today to learn more about hacking!

Machine Learning

The IRS Machine Learning section grooms Hwa Chong’s in-house Artificial Intelligence experts. We specialize in theory surrounding how machine intelligence works in code. We also apply AI in practice by using frameworks like Tensorflow and Pytorch to train AIs to perform human tasks, including computer vision, natural language processing, trend prediction, and trend regression. We have our own PC outfitted specifically for AI projects, so fret not if you are concerned about the large computational requirement of Machine Learning, as we’ve got you covered. Join us if you want to be well-versed in AI, the technology that’s currently in vogue and that will definitely increase your employability!

Robotics

The IRS Robotics section aims to develop the next generation of top tier engineers. It focuses on three competitions: RoboCup (Soccer Robot), VEX, and the National Robotics Challenge (Lego). Robotics has its very own microsite and it can be found here.

WebApp

The IRS Web/App section develops websites and mobile applications with a diverse portfolio. We host many WordPress sites for not only our own CCA, but we are also trusted by may other CCAs to provide a reliable, dependable web hosting service. We also create multi-platform applications such as iTap, an automated attendance-taking app deployed by some CCAs, HCGarden, an app that shows off the flora and fauna found in our school, and we have been contacted by Science Centre Singapore to produce a similar app for their green spaces. We are talented and passionate about coding and creating apps that are helpful to others.
