National Infocomm Competition (NIC)
Objective
The National Infocomm Competition (NIC) is a series of infocomm-themed competitions (termed as "Challenges") to expose students to areas such as programming, mobile application development, networking, games design and creation. The NIC aims to inculcate interest and raise exposure about infocomm among students and create a common branding to boost the prestige of infocomm competitions in Singapore.
Programme Description
Students from across Primary, Secondary/JC and ITE/Polytechnic/University can take part in the various challenges. From 2012 onwards, equal recognition will be given to schools who win championships in the NIC challenges that they participate in at the yearly awards ceremony.
Benefits
Students will be able to train and compete against others who share a similar passion in a particular area of infocomm. Through the competitions, students can deepen their skills. Some of the competitions will also lead on to a regional/international competition where students can further benchmark their performance against overseas counterparts and be exposed to the international infocomm scene. IDA and the organisers will provide support for the champions of each circuit to go on to compete and win glory for the schools and Singapore.
Eligibility Criteria
Open to Primary Schools, Secondary Schools, Junior College, Institute of Technical Education, Polytechnics, and Universities.
