Cyberthon 2025 🛡️

ASRJC Computing students from both JC1 and JC2 levels enthusiastically participated in Cyberthon 2025, a data science and cybersecurity competition organized by Hwa Chong Institution in collaboration with CSIT and DIS. The event provided an exciting platform for students to develop and showcase their data science and cybersecurity skills.

Our students had a great time tackling the training challenges. For the Finals, they collaborated in teams of four, working closely together to solve complex cybersecurity problems under time constraints. The competition was intense and challenging, pushing the students to apply their knowledge and teamwork effectively.

Among the competing teams from various institutions, one of our ASRJC teams distinguished itself by securing 10th place, a commendable achievement given the high level of competition. This result reflects the dedication, skill, and collaborative spirit of our Computing students as they engaged deeply with real-world cyber defense scenarios.

Overall, Cyberthon 2025 was a rewarding experience that not only tested our students' technical abilities but also fostered camaraderie and a passion for cybersecurity, preparing them for future challenges in the digital domain.

National Cybersecurity Olympiad (NCO) 2025

The National Cybersecurity Olympiad 2025 brought together top student teams from schools across Singapore, with each school sending a team of 5 to 6 students to compete in the Finals. Representing ASRJC, our students demonstrated exceptional skill and teamwork throughout the competition.

We are proud to announce that four of our student representatives received prestigious awards for their outstanding performance. Allard Luo Zhihan, Dave Bryan Tanady, and Low Wei Feng each earned the Bronze award, recognizing their strong problem-solving abilities and technical expertise. Notably, Re Zhuo Yufeng achieved the Silver award, placing him among the top achievers in Singapore.

These achievements reflect the dedication, resilience, and collaborative spirit of our ASRJC team as they tackled challenging cybersecurity problems alongside the nation’s best. Congratulations to all our award recipients for their remarkable accomplishments at the National Cybersecurity Olympiad 2025.

NUS MUFG DELL HumanITy Challenge 2024

The HumanITy Challenge is a sustainability-focused innovation competition, organised by the NUS Department of Information Systems and Analytics, where pre-university students harness the power of IT to develop solutions for pressing sustainability issues in our society. 

This year's competition saw participation of many teams from 16 Junior Colleges and polytechnics. We are proud to announce that our ASR Computing team, ACEnders, advanced to the Finals. 

On August 17, 2024, the team members presented their ideas to a panel of judges and achieved an impressive 2nd place in the Finals. Congratulations to the team! 😄

Swift Explorers App Development Challenge 2024

A team of computing students participated in the Swift Explorers App Development challenge, organised by Crescent Girls School (CGS) and School of Science and Technology (SST). Through the programme, they explored Swift coding on iPad and used that knowledge to develop a Hawker Makan app that provides comprehensive information that patrons would find helpful when visiting the hawker centres.

Many of them were not familiar with Swift Playgrounds but got to learn how to use it while developing the prototype of the app. The challenge culminated with a celebration event on 14 August 2024, where the teams presented their prototypes to other participants at CGS.

Cyberthon 2024

Cyberthon 2024, an exhilarating online challenge that merges the worlds of cybersecurity and data science, was co-organized by Hwa Chong Institution, the Centre for Strategic Infocomm Technologies (CSIT), and the Digital and Intelligence Service (DIS).

This year, 628 participants teamed up in groups of four to tackle a series of demanding Capture-The-Flag (CTF) challenges that tested their technical skills in pwn, reverse engineering, forensics, web exploitation and data science.

Despite facing stiff competition from other schools, one of our ASR teams ("TI-84 CE Python") achieved an impressive 8th place finish, a highly remarkable achievement!

National Olympiad in Informatics (NOI) 2024

The Singapore National Olympiad in Informatics (NOI) is hosted by School of Computing (SoC) of National University of Singapore (NUS). NOI consists of a five-hours session in which each contestant is required to individually solve and program a solution to each of the four to five programming tasks (with subtasks of varying difficulties). The solutions are judged according to their correctness (i.e. whether they produce the correct answers) as well as the resources used (i.e. producing the answers within a time, memory, and/or other special limits).

The following students were selected for NOI Finals and obtained awards:

• Bryan Tan Boon Jun (Silver award)

• Nguyen Phuc Chuong (Silver award)

• Paphangkorn Soponthammapan (Bronze award)
