Our curious Computing & Robotics students attended the {build} Hackathon finale at GovTech to see what happens when GovTechies turn everyday problems into real solutions.
They walked through the showcase, talked to teams, and saw working prototypes built over 6 weeks - from problem statement to pitch-ready product. What stood out for them?
Solutions that actually have a path to production
Cross-functional teams with designers, engineers, and product folks
A focus on citizen pain points, not just cool tech
It was a behind-the-scenes look at how GovTech works to improve our quality of life. We thank GovTech (special thanks to CSR Council and Hackathon organisers) for this learning opportunity. Our students left with plenty of ideas, and definitely some inspiration to join next time!
