EHIG did it for RP!

-
Now, I am very proud to be a member of this EHIG. We decided to take part in "Security Awareness for Everyone(SAFE) 2014" competition in association with Ministry of Home Affairs(MHA) for the very first time from our IG.



So, it was last year that we submitted a proposal about the Electronics Signboard. Of course, there were a lot of categories to choose for the competition but our IG is Electronics Hobby IG so we chose something that is related to Electronics. Our proposal was quite simple and we did not even expect to be nominated. Surprisingly, after a few months later, we have been emailed that we were selected for the competition and had been assigned a mentor named "Mr.Kenneth" from Singapore Police Force! WoW! That was the time that we have been pumped up and we have worked on it pretty seriously. Even we had a semester break for one and a half month, some of our committee members went back to their respective countries like China, Myanmar, for only about 14 days and the rest of their holidays were spent in RP lab to thrive for the competition. Our advisor, Mr.Caleb, and our mentor, Mr.Kenneth gave us a lot of advices and ideas for the project. Then, by the first week of October 2014, we were able to finish our project or prototype with a sleek design for the competition.

And on 24th October, we had to go to MHA as a team to present our project "RP Electronic Signboard". This is the biggest project that we have ever made together and we have spent one month plus holiday all for that. So, all of us were really nervous and scared at the same time to present as there were a lot of other teams from various schools who were presenting like us. But the presentation went quite well and we saw the smiles and curiosity on some of the faces of the judges.




After that day, all of us were waiting for the announcement with anxiety in our minds. Just a moment ago in December last year, we have been chosen in top 5 and two of our members were invited to the award ceremony on 8th January 2015. We couldn't even imagine that this was really happening! And guess what, we won Silver Award for this MHA competition representing RP! We achieved the award directly from the hands of Guest-of- Honour, Mr S Iswaran, Minister, Prime Minister’s Office and Second Minister for Home Affairs and Trade & Industry during MHA Excel Fest Exhibition on 8th January 2015.

That was really awesome job that we did together and our hard work truly paid off! This is a really splendid experience we have ever got all because of being in this EHIG and a big thanks to all supporting us since from the beginning especially Mr.Caleb, Mr.Kenneth and our lab tech, Mr.Simon. :')
