Throughout the 4-day bootcamp, our students immersed themselves in industry-driven learning experiences, including resume and interview workshops, mentorship discussions, industrial visits to OnSemi and MIMOS, panel sessions with industry leaders, and collaborative problem-solving activities with participants from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Australia.

The highlight of the programme was the TechZoomers Challenge, where teams worked together to develop innovative solutions for real-world industry challenges and present them through poster presentations to mentors and judges.

We are especially proud to celebrate our student, ๐‹๐จ๐ก ๐‰๐ข๐š๐ง ๐Š๐š๐ข, and his team for being selected as one of the ๐—ง๐—ผ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฑ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐˜€ and presenting their solution live on stage during SEMICON Southeast Asia 2026 at MITEC. Their team was awarded a Consolation Prize, a remarkable achievement among many talented participants across the region. Well done, Jian Kai! ๐ŸŽ‰

Beyond the competition, our students also had the chance to explore the SEMICON Southeast Asia exhibition, connect with global industry players, and gain first-hand exposure to the future of the semiconductor and electronics industry.

This event is truly an eye-opening and memorable experience to all our students.
