Detail

Two EEE teams won the Silver prizes at the 18th International Standards Olympiad competition from 21 to 23 Aug 2023. The competition was jointly organised by Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS) and the Korean Standards Association (KSA). It aimed to promote awareness on the importance of standardisation for convenience and safety. It also sought to provide a platform for students to explore new ways of standardisation, by going beyond theoretical knowledge to incorporate elements of creativity, scientific understanding and technology.

Enterprise Singapore endorsed two SP EEE teams to represent Singapore internationally in the High School category. This year, students in this category were tasked with developing international standards related to Face Recognition System. They were evaluated on the written assignment and oral presentation on the international standards that the students had developed. The High School category had a total of 20 competition teams from 8 countries (Korea, China, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Rwanda and Singapore).

The teams were guided by EEE staffs Goh Say Seng, Than Keng Hwa and Elaine Soo, with the pivotal support of Enterprise Singapore.
