Electronics Interest Group (EIG) would like to extend our sincerest thanks to all the participants who joined our December session. A special thanks to our advisors Mr. Caleb Tan, Dr. Jiang Li Jun, and all of our Exco members for organising this workshop. Makey-Makey workshop allows both participants and EXCOs to make Christmas songs with instruments which we are not used to. In this workshop, we used bananas as our piano and played Christmas songs for everyone. Also, in this workshop we have known each other better and enjoy the activities that the EXCOs have organised like 2 players football game and shooting game.

  Congratulations to the team on getting Champion for EIC 2022. The team consists of Osaki Quoc Anh, Seah Kai Wen Kelvin, Sherman Chow Jun Shin, and Lim Qiang Huat. We would like to thank Dr. Jiang, Mr. Caleb, and our mentor Mr. Poh for helping us with the competition and giving us support whenever we need. The theme of EIC 2022 was to build a prototype with artificial intelligence which helps in sustainable living. The team’s idea is about improving the recycling rate and reducing the contamination rate for recycling bins. The idea helps to identify items to sort out within them into different categories. It can help to cut, clean, and compress the items so that it can make more space and help to clean the inside of the item. Most importantly, the team’s idea consists of an artificial intelligence-enabled camera that can help to sort the items into different categories which helps the workers from waste management to save their items to sort out the materials. The team’s idea can help

Electronics Interest Group (EIG) would like to extend our sincerest thanks to all the participants who joined our September session. A special thanks to our advisors Mr. Caleb Tan, Dr. Jiang Li Jun, and all of our Exco members for organizing this workshop. DesignSpark Workshop is our second physical workshop in this pandemic. The event happened on 9 Sept 2022, from 10am - 4pm at Republic Polytechnic W23A.  The objective of this workshop is to let students learn how to use DesignSpark software to make their own Printed-Circuit-Board. Students who attended the workshop were very active, they will share their opinion, and asked for help if they needed it.  In this workshop, the Exco members taught the students how to import the libraries so that they can use the components in the schematic, how to do PCB routing, and do's and don'ts for PCB. Below are the images taken on the day: Top 3 winners for Kahoot: Prize Ceremony: Group photo: Therefore, we would like to thank all advisors
