Congratulations to our students and mentor Mr Jimmy Ang, the Dream Machine, on winning the Code::XtremeApps:: 2009 !!!
Some background on the competitions ... Competitors in this competition had to build an innovative and useful application within 24 hours. For this year's competition, participants came up with an innovative way to educate the public about the benefits of healthy living and the harmful effects of smoking. Some 119 teams took part in this competition and 17 teams were selected for final judging on 17 July 2009. AND ours came in FIRST :)
Said Colin Pang, team leader of winning team ‘Dream Machine’, “What I’ve learnt most about this competition is the importance of perseverance: you never know just how much you can achieve within 24 hours, and the results will amaze you.”
The team came up with a suite of healthcare programmes for mobile phones based on the Google Android platform. They worked non-stop for 24 hours, and kept awake with a diet of Red Bulldrinks, sweets and biscuits. Some machines they are !!!
