Together with GovTech (Government Technology Agency of Singapore) and Singapore Institute of Technology, DigiPen (Singapore) is proud to be enhancing digital twin and simulation technology in the Punggol Digital District — building virtual replicas of real-world environments that let planners test, simulate, and predict without ever touching the physical world.

And four of our BS in Computer Science in Real-Time Interactive Simulation students are right in the thick of it as GovTech interns. Learn more about the work that they're doing and how their skills in C/C++, real-time engines, geometry, and asset management are being put to use.

It was our honour to partner with OceanX, a nonprofit advancing ocean science and education, to hold their first-ever on-shore hackathon locally here on our campus last week. The hackathon challenged DigiPen Dragons to reimagine ocean education for the digital age and help deepen the public's understanding of it.

💻Over the course of two days, participants worked with OceanX data and assets to create immersive digital experiences centred on brine pools: mysterious underwater lakes that are hidden deep within the ocean. Saltier and denser than surrounding seawater, these brine pools are among the most extreme environments on the planet, yet are still able to support remarkable forms of life.

Students used their creativity and skills to bring these hidden worlds to life through a variety of projects such as interactive games featuring deep-sea creatures and immersive ocean exhibits that highlight the richness and diversity of the marine ecosystems.🌊🐟🦈🐠

A big thank you to OceanX for this meaningful collaboration and to all our talented students who took part!🚀💯👏

Congratulations to our AI Application Development Bootcamp graduates! 🎉

Over five intensive weeks, participants dove deep into applied AI — from prompt engineering and APIs to AI governance, agent applications, GitHub portfolio development, and more.

The Bootcamp wrapped up with individual capstone projects where students built practical AI-powered applications tackling real use cases: resume and job-matching assistants, document Q&A tools, food recommendation chatbots, AI game masters, productivity planners, and others.

This was our inaugural AI Bootcamp and DigiPen (Singapore) is committed to helping our students stay ahead of emerging technologies to build the skills that matter in today's workforce. Well done to all participants — we can't wait to see what you build next!

DigiPen (Singapore) was proud to be a partner of the Singapore International Mathematical & Computational Challenge (SIMC2.0) 2026 — recently, with two of our faculty serving as judges during the event.

Over five days, hundreds of students showcased innovation, teamwork, and brilliant problem-solving. Assistant Professor Dr. Ronald Koh and Lecturer Ms. Rosa Anajao from the Mathematics and Physics Department were on the judging panel and witnessed firsthand what young minds can achieve when curiosity meets challenge. From AI to robotics to computational puzzles, the bold ideas on display were truly remarkable. See you next year, innovators! 💻🚀✨
