Technology is an ever increasing part of our everyday lives. It is especially crucial that you gain skills to harness the technology in this day and age. Join Infocomm and train your computational and programming skills to become a designer, problem solver, pioneer and an inventor. Get ready to solve the world’s greatest problems and compete to prove your skills! Along the way, learn to work as a team, sharpen your mind and express your inner creativity.
 
RI Infocomm is split into 3 branches: programming, robotics and competitive programming. In programming, learn how to use different applications, and explore continuously evolving fields like cybersecurity and machine learning. In robotics, you can use tools like Raspberry Pis, Lego Mindstorms and Arduinos to construct autonomous robots that can complete challenging tasks. Finally, in competitive programming, you can develop creative algorithms to solve complex and challenging computational problems. Each branch will provide you with unique skills and you will get to select which branch you would want to join. 
 
If you are interested in joining RI Infocomm, just inform our teachers-in-charge. We are sure you will have a fun and enriching experience here!

Robotics Members fighting for victory for RI at the RoboCup Singapore Open 2019. They ultimately emerged as the Soccer Lightweight champions and were chosen to represent Singapore at the International RoboCup 2019 in Sydney, Australia. There, the team secured 1st Place in the Superteam competition and 5th Place in the Junior Soccer Lightweight Category.

 Winners of Asia Imagine Cup Junior Challenge.

This global challenge is focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI), introducing students to AI and Microsoft’s AI for Good initiatives so they can come up with ideas to solve social, cultural and environmental issues. Our Year 1 team came up with An app using facial and gesture recognition to provide means of communication for people who can’t speak. They wanted to create this app to help one of the students communicate with a grandparent, who had recently had a tracheotomy.

Infocomm member crafting and programming a fake bomb which can only be ‘defused’ by solving a puzzle. Here, they use an arduino board along with different input and output components to create a complex device. This was made based on the game “Keep Talking and Nobody explodes”.

 

Members from our programming branch making use of what they have learnt in training to design and build an application. Here, they are working in groups to brainstorm and research ideas for their app. Later, they will program and create prototypes of the app.
