With innovation and dedication, Hwa Chong Infocomm and Robotics Society (HCIRS) has had the honour of representing Singapore in prestigious international competitions like the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), Cyber SEA Games and RoboCup.

 

We pride ourselves on self-directed learning without external trainers, and are heavily involved with cloud computing competitions and IT commissions from the school. Our members spend time working on projects, learning, or preparing for competitions during our CCA sessions.

 

HCIRS comprises five sections: Competitive Programming, Cybersecurity, Machine Learning, Web Applications and Robotics.

 

In Competitive Programming, we hone our problem-solving skills for competitions like the National Olympiad in Informatics.

 

Our Cybersecurity section nurtures white-hat hackers, participating in Capture-the-Flag competitions to sharpen our skills.

 

Our Web Applications section tinkers with cloud solutions and platforms, participating in competitions to test our real-world problem-solving skills as well as collaborating with other organisations to develop solutions and websites for them.

 

In Machine Learning, we explore the exciting world of cutting-edge artificial intelligence, equipping ourselves with skills to build AI models.

 

Our Robotics section has the honour of being one of the only school-based robotics clubs in Singapore that specialises in both RoboCup and VEX Robotics Competition.
