Team Kent Ridge, the eight NUS Computing students secured first place overall at SBCC’26, outperforming 13 international teams, many of which had prior competition experience and established HPC backgrounds.

There’s a particular kind of restlessness that drives someone to build things when no one is asking them to. For Andre Liu, a Year 1 Computer Science student with a minor in Mathematics at NUS School of Computing (SoC), that itch showed up early – in middle school, in hackathon halls, in the quiet corners of National Service (NS).

Every year on 14 March, the world marks Pi Day – a small tradition honouring the mathematical constant that appears everywhere from engineering equations to planetary motion. This year, two NUS Computing students decided to mark the occasion by building something. 

In a room of 20 computing students, sometimes only three are women. At the NUS School of Computing, women make up 23.7% of undergraduates (AY24/25). The gender ratio remains uneven – a reality that shapes classroom dynamics in subtle yet tangible ways. 

For Eugene and Glenn, sustainability did not begin as a grand mission. It started with frustration – high electricity bills, limited visibility, and the sense that energy was being wasted in ways no one could clearly explain or control. Eugene Chia, a Computer Science graduate from NUS School of Computing, and Glenn Quah, a final-year Information Systems student, are co-founders of Ecovolt, a startup developing smart energy solutions for schools and commercial buildings. Together with their third co-founder, Raphael, they are building systems that help organisations see, understand, and reduce energy waste at scale.

For many deaf and hard-of-hearing people, something as routine as a phone call can mean dependence on others. Wayne and Randall could not ignore that. Both Year 2 Computer Science students at the NUS School of Computing, Wayne and Randall are the co-founders of CallBridge, an accessibility-focused app designed to help deaf and hard-of-hearing users make and receive phone calls independently. What started as a hackathon project has since grown into a real-world tool, shaped closely by the community it serves.
