NUS Computing students clinch 2nd place at the Dell InnovateFest Hackathon 2025

A team of NUS School of Computing (SoC) students, assembled by the Centre for Computing for Social Good and Philanthropy (CCSGP), competed in the 3rd annual Dell InnovateFest Hackathon on 29 August. The team — comprising Lin Ziyu, Tan Khang Hou, Wen Fanyu, Lai Yiwen, Li Zekuan, and Zoe Ang — impressed the judges and clinched 2nd place, winning a prize of $6,000.

This year’s hackathon, held in partnership with the Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore (MINDS) and the Singapore Association for Mental Health (SAMH), tasked students with creating innovative, technology-driven solutions to support mental health for teenagers and caregivers of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities (PWIDs).

The event was graced by Mr Desmond Lee, Minister for Education and Minister-in-Charge of Social Services Integration, as Guest-of-Honour.

Congratulations once again to our NUS SoC team on this outstanding achievement!
