National Crime Prevention Council Festive Season RoadShow 2010

On 6th November, our students and staffs went down to support the National Crime Prevention Council Festive Season RoadShow 2010 @ Plaza Singapura. DMIT final year students had helped to create informational and games applications using interactive gestures for the event. Then Minister for Information, Communications & the Arts, Mr. Lui Tuck Yew kick start the event. After the launch ceremony, he went around to view the exhibits and stop by our booth where our student, Deon explained the various applications to him.

OLT catches up with the students, staffs and event organizers involved on their thoughts after the event.

In view of the National Crime Prevention Council event, I feel that the various application designed by us are well received. People of all ages including Minister Lui, enjoyed our interactive application. 
-Deon, Student

In this crime prevention event, we have received a lot of positive feedback from the public and even from Minister Lui Tuck Yew. He has praised NYP students for the work at the event. Other positive comments from the young people at the event were received too.

2 NYP Scholars

We would like to congratulate both Colin and Jun Yao for being awarded the NYP scholarship. Both have definitely done well to deserve this scholarship. OLT catches up with Colin on his thoughts on being awarded the scholarship.

I would first like to say a big “Thank You” to the school - thank you for the caring lecturers and mentors, for the quality education and the good facilities. I’m extremely grateful to receive the NYP scholarship. Across the past 2 years, it’s been an amazing journey for me – actively participating in competitions and accomplishing some extent of success in some; starting up a club, excelling in studies and fostering meaningful friendships with my peers. I’m thankful for the scholarship as it will help me financially and better focus on achieving the goals and championing the ‘innovative’ spirit of NYP. Thank you NYP!
