PARENTS FOR SSEP
HMGICS Tour and Hackathon
This fantastic learning event, took place from September through to November 2024, and was tailored exclusively for our middle and high school students. A unique experience that promised to be both educational and inspiring.
After months of hard work, students unveiled their masterpieces. Competing against UWCSEA Dover, SAIS and GESS, every team displayed impressive skills!
We're thrilled to share that both our High School and Middle School teams scored the highest, earning first place in the competition. Well done to all the teams for their incredible effort and participation!

Transportation Details
To ensure our students can fully participate in this enriching experience, a dedicated bus will be available to collect students from the East campus at 2:45 PM on the 6th of November. The bus will transport them to the SMART Factory for a 3:30 PM start.
The event will conclude at 4:15 PM (TBC), at which point the bus will collect the students from the SMART Factory and return them safely to the East campus.
What to Expect
During the SMART factory tour, participants will have the incredible opportunity to tour the state-of-the-art Hyundai Motor Group's SMART Factory and farm. This tour is not only an eye-opener to the world of advanced manufacturing but also a chance to witness cutting-edge innovation in action.
Hackathon
We have acquired 3 sets of DJI TT Drones and mBot2s, the teams will be required to redesign and construct a fully functional land based automated rover capable of having the DJI TT Drone land upon it whilst in motion. This rover will need to navigate various obstacles whilst its counter part, the airborne drone will navigate air based obstacles. At the end of the run, the drone will need to land on the Rover.
On the 27th November, UWCSEA East, UWCSEA Dover, Australian International School, Stamford American and German European School will be battling head to head.
We believe that real-world exposure and hands-on experiences like these are essential in shaping our students into future-ready individuals.
