Looking at Life - Pre-sip Talk

Our senior students who are soon to go for internships with companies attended a talk on the topic "Looking at Life" on the 21st June. It was in collaboration with Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS). The speaker Don Lowe shared with us many interesting ideas on how to face life as we are entering a different phase of life. Graduation will approach us next year and its time for us to think about what we are going to do when we graduate and what we hope to achieve. Imagine yourself in 5 or 10 years time, where are would, what are you doing, what have you done. These are things we have to think about now so as to set a goal to target for the future. Don shared with us many thoughts and got us to think carefully about our future. Everyone gained a new perspective and learnt much from him. I believe it was a great learning experience from us especially with his enthusiasm.

Wishing all our seniors success in the future!

Project Love - PC Family Programme

On 26th Feb, our school studies club organised PC Family Programme on campus! This programme works with NorthEast Community Development Council to help needy children learn baisc skills in Microsoft Word and Microsoft Powerpoint. Informatics & IT school's students have volunteered to help be the 'teachers' and also organise a funfair for the children and their family. Interactive Media Informatics had a few volunteers who set up a game booth for the funfair. The children had to use a pair of chopsticks to pick up a pingpong ball and walk to another bowl to place it there. They had a lot of fun and many of them kept coming back to our booth to play. A successful ball would equals to one ticket and there was a prize redemption booth. Our helpers had fun interacting with the children and teaching them how to use a chopstick! Also Yu Ling, Rina & Dane from Interactive Media Informatics designed all the posters used in this project!

A Great Day at EPPS

24th July 2010 marks a fun-filled day to be remembered by Elias Park Primary School’s student as they celebrated their school’s 15th Anniversary cum Racial Harmony Evening. This event was graced by Mr. Teo Chee Hean, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence as the Guest of Honour.

It was a memorable day for the Elias Park Primary School’s students as they were treated to a fun day of learning and discovering the values of the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) and the significance of the Racial Harmony day, including learning Mathematics through the following interactive games designed by our fellow students from the Diploma in Interactive Media Informatics (IMI):

-Racial Harmony Game: A memory game where you have to flip up two similar cards.
-YOG Game: A guessing game where you have to identify the missing letter in the words. YOG values and sports were used as the word to be guessed.
-Soccer: A game where you have to answer question on YOG and EPPS.
-Shoot the Bird: A game where students learn simple mathematics such as Addition and Subtraction.

The Junior (Year 2) students designed these games as a requirement for the module Multimedia Project 2 which they read in semester 2. This module aims to provide students with the knowledge and hands-on practice to build flexible and dynamic interactive multimedia applications. The objective of showcasing these projects was to showcase the capability of IMI students in using the Immersive Technology.

This event was successful because of the efforts and contributions of the following IMI Junior game designers who had the priviledge of showcasing their awesome projects during the event:

-Nur Amalina Bte Rashid
-Victor Ng Jun Teng
-Yeow Chun Sian

Thank you fellow IMI friends, you have done us proud!

IMI - the one big happy family

Student helpers

I was happy to be part of this time's JAE, where i went down to help the lecturers giving out information regarding IMI, alongside Benneth and Randford. I would say its rather new to me, talking to the people (and their mum's) about IMI, and I must say I did enjoy myself somehow (there were some good looking girls there ^^ ).

JAE counselling- Benneth helping students make an informed decision

Zul and Sarah looking thorough the IMI brochure ...

Now that JAE's over, all thats left is to wait for the results to come out. Hope you guys manage to get your first choice. =)

Yes.. .i want to be at IIT - IMI :)



Ever wondered...
Who exactly was the first guy who looked at a cow and said: "Im gonna squeezze those pink dangling thingy and drink whatever comes out of it."

The long awaited update by me... in the midst of my pile of markings... *excuses excuses excuses

Anyway, i'll let the pics do the talking :)

Our prata outing, sans Alvin who was still in Brisbane then. Owe you one, Al.

Well, not too long ago, our students were involved in a photoshoot for Adobe, even 2 of our lecturers were involved, only my backview was involved :(

Worldskills 2008

This is a grand-scale competition every two years that we push our students to participate. After months and months of training, 3 of them - Daniel, Kaye and Amalina went to the Singapore Finals.

Then... we received news one morning that Amalina is the winner!!! Yay, representing Singapore in the Web Design category. Director says WorldSkills is equivalent to the Olympics...

So she will jet off to Calgary, Canada next year to compete amongst the other countries' champions.

A yummy dinner treat by the director to thank the trainers and the students for their effort, Andrew, Sankara, Rick and i also had a little part to play... tee-hee.

Ok, then moving on to TP Rawkz. It was a great success; from the feedback of the sec-school leavers, IIT school was the best, in terms of our enthusiasm, spirit and projects (of course!)

IIT Rawkz man...

Here are some projects we showcased for our diploma IMI. We tried to push the boundaries of interactivity... we don't even have to use the mouse anymore... we can use our hand and body gestures to interact.

Here is JC, our SIG president, quizzing the rawkers about IMI and giving out prizes after they played our very own F1-racing game created by our students.

After TP Rawkz, we held an immersion course for interested students so that they would understand more about our course, learn to create animation in Flash and stand a chance to win an iPod Touch... Woohoo...

The workshop was conducted by the students. They are just too great :)

Animation + Immersion = Animmersion

Our sports day - IMIND Day

Another student-run event where all Yr 1, 2, 3 single each other out...

The class spirit ... either lend your voice or strength, everyone plays a part to help their class stand up to their (friendly) opponent.

After weeks of block teaching, it was presentation time...

hooray for them but I now got to do the markings...

Always a time for work, and a time for play...

The blogger team met up once again for food and laughter, and just soak in the year-end mood of things... with Alvin but sans Daryl this time...

Hey folks... thanks for all the effort man! See you next year :)
