Preparation for Open House

Posted on

Phew!

With promos over, it’s time to focus on preparing for Open House 2016!

We’ve offered to create an open house app for the school – and we will deliver! Work is currently in progress for the Open House Application!

This Open House, we’re planning several special things to showcase the exciting world of InfoComm and Robotic technology, and of course, the hard work and dedication put into these creations:

HC Robot Soccer League

What?!? Robots playing soccer in Hwa Chong?

Yes, you heard that right. Hwa Chong Robotics regularly participates in the prestigious RoboCup Competition, and it’s time to show off how cool these soccer-playing robots really are!

Live Hacking Session

Don’t worry, we’re only going to hack our own computers.

In today’s world, cyber security is crucial. But before anyone can begin protecting their systems, we must first know how others would potentially exploit security systems. That’s where the hacking comes in.

Here at Hwa Chong InfoComm, we want our members to learn how to protect their computers, servers and websites. So look forward to a few of our members tearing up a virtual machine!

Website and Game Showcase

Obviously, here at Hwa Chong InfoComm and Robotics Society, we also create things – cool games, stylish websites and smexy robots. Get a glimpse into what you can potentially do at Hwa Chong InfoComm and Robotics Society!

….

So what are you waiting for? Prepare to feast your eyes on some cool stuff on 12 Jan 2016!
