A fireside chat, a walk through Punggol Digital District and durians to round off the afternoon. Sometimes, the best connections are built simply by spending time together. 😊

We welcomed senior leaders and colleagues from SingHealth and JTC for an afternoon featuring a fireside chat with Prof Chua Kee Chaing, President, SIT; Prof Ng Wai Hoe, Group Chief Executive Officer, SingHealth; and Ms Jacqueline Poh, Chief Executive Officer, JTC.

Moderated by Prof Hsu Pon Poh, Chairman, Medical Board, Sengkang General Hospital, the session was a chance for colleagues across all three organisations to exchange perspectives and strengthen relationships.

The conversations continued as the group toured PDD, before everyone gathered at SIT for bites, fruit and a more informal catch-up.

It was an afternoon that reflected our shared aspiration to innovate and collaborate – and a reminder that new possibilities often begin with people coming together, getting to know one another and continuing the conversation.

They arrived with experience in programming robots. Two days later, they had reimagined and programmed autonomous robots to compete, perform and solve challenges 🤖

Students from 6 secondary schools joined us for the Beyond NYTC: Advanced Robotics & Autonomous Systems Workshop, ready to dive deeper into their earlier learnings from the National Youth Tech Championship.
After seeing how robotics projects developed at SIT operate across land, air and underwater, it was time to get building. They got hands-on with Raspberry Pi and Python, learning to integrate sensors, motors, servos and cameras into the autonomous robots they modified.

By giving budding tech enthusiasts the chance to reimagine, test and refine their ideas for themselves, opportunities like this turn an interest in tech into a hands-on understanding of how robotics, engineering and computer programming can come together.

A big thank you to Tokyo Electron Singapore, Infocomm Media Development Authority of Singapore and participating schools for making this learning opportunity possible. Congratulations to all the teams for taking on the challenge!

What do you do when a client's biggest advantage is one that its customers can't see?

That was the challenge posed to Team Blackred Inc, comprising Year 2 Accountancy students Ang Zhuolin, Chung Chi George, Eunice Fu Yi Xuen and Mun Li Lin at the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants x Kasetsart University International Case Competition 2026 in Thailand.

Competing against more than 120 teams from universities around the world, our SITizens tackled real-world business cases across three rounds to reach the Grand Final and clinched third place! 🏆

Their mission? To help Scotch, a Thai bird's nest drink brand, make its edge visible. Its responsibly harvested wild cave nests set it apart, but that difference is not clear to customers at the point of purchase.

Applying the root-cause thinking from their Audit module, the team proposed an experiential pop-up and a QR code on every bottle – letting customers see and verify the difference for themselves.

Thank you to the ISCA and Kasetsart University for this meaningful platform. Congratulations, Team Blackred Inc – we're so proud of you! 🎉

2 years on campus. Almost 2 years in the workplace. Same degree duration.

SIT is piloting a new "2+2" model – giving students nearly 2 years of sustained industry immersion through an extended Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP), up from the current 8 to 12 months.

From Year 3, selected students will take on more complex, multi-stage projects and progressively greater responsibility with industry partners, while returning to campus for micro-credentials as well as their capstone project.

The pilot is slated to begin in September 2027 with selected ICT and Engineering students, alongside partners including A*STAR IME, Applied Materials, Ensign InfoSecurity, NCS, STMicroelectronics, UMC Singapore and VSMC.

"Through the 2+2 model, SIT and industry partners will work closely to co-develop and nurture students' capabilities, equipping them with the knowledge, skills and experience to thrive in a rapidly changing workplace," said Professor Susanna Leong, Deputy President (Academic) & Provost.

IWSP is a key feature of an SIT education, with close to one in two SIT students receiving advance full-time offers from their IWSP employers. This pilot builds on that strong foundation. For students, it means more time to grow, contribute and find their footing in the working world – before they even graduate.

Butterfly pea flowers are known for their striking blue colour. But did you know that their pigments could also help signal when food is no longer fresh?

Through SIT's inaugural research mentorship initiative, students Brayden Lim and Muruganantham Monicka from Catholic Junior College got a chance to step into SIT’s laboratories to investigate how pigments from butterfly pea flowers could indicate food freshness and support sustainable packaging solutions.

Guided by Associate Professor Choi Won Jae, they tested their hypothesis and gained firsthand experience in what research is really like: testing ideas, overcoming challenges and refining their approach along the way.

Their hard work earned them a Bronze Award at the 27th International Elementz Fair.

They are among the first JC students to be part of this initiative, which aims to give them early exposure to authentic research environments, university laboratories, and the opportunity to be mentored by SIT faculty.

Picture this: a few years from now, your child will be applying robotics or healthcare tech in Guangzhou, working alongside industry partners to see how it can support elderly and patient care.

That future just got a little closer. On 25 August, SIT signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the China-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City (CSGKC), the platform behind a landmark bilateral project between Singapore and China. Mr Bernard Nee, SIT's Deputy President (Industry & Community), and Mr Mo Shao Yun, Chairman of CSGKC, signed the agreement at the 16th Singapore-Guangdong Collaboration Council meeting.

Here's what it could open up for our students: internship opportunities in South China, direct exposure to smart healthcare and wellness technologies, a front-row seat to how robotics is changing care. Exactly the kind of real-world experience SIT graduates are known for.

Because we don't just want our students to know the theory. We want them ready for the jobs of tomorrow, with the international experience to back it up.

This is a first step to take our applied learning approach into Guangzhou, a gateway to one of China’s most economically dynamic regions. 💙💙

A new chapter begins on campus! 🎓

Day Zero marked the official start of their SIT journey, giving our freshmen a first taste of what lies ahead.

Beyond getting to know their degree programmes and new classmates, they were introduced to Design Your Futures, where they explored how they could shape their university experience and future career paths with greater intention.

The day wrapped up with a campus-wide scavenger hunt across Campus Court and Campus Heart, putting teamwork to the test while giving our SITizens a chance to bond and explore their new home. 🔎

To our newest SITizens, welcome to SIT! 👋

How do you poach a fish? How do you make choux pastry?

Charlene Soh couldn’t answer these basic cooking questions in her admissions interview.

But less than three years later, the Culinary Institute of America, Singapore graduate is making her mark at Michelin-starred Quince & Co. in San Francisco.

With no culinary background, Charlene entered CIA's Food Business Management programme and built her knowledge and skills from the ground up. Along the way, she balanced classroom learning with years of front-of-house experience, discovering a passion for the fast-paced world of food and beverage.

That drive took her to Quince, where she worked across kitchen operations, service and private events. Despite the steep learning curve and demands of a Michelin-starred kitchen, Charlene’s versatility and work ethic quickly earned her the respect of her colleagues and chefs alike.

Today, she is taking her career to new heights with Emirates' dining arm, gaining experience across concepts such as The Kitchen by Wolfgang Puck, Pret A Manger and Asian Street Kitchen.

Her technical skills helped her ace her work projects. But it was her workplace skills that set her apart.

Throughout her various work attachments with AIA, Jasbir Kaur progressed from gaining her first glimpse of the financial services industry to contributing as an AI engineer, helping develop solutions that automate business processes.

Along the way, this SIT Applied Computing (Fintech) student also discovered that making an impression in the workplace takes more than technical proficiency. By stepping forward for workplace events and communicating her ideas with confidence, Jasbir complemented her technical skills with professional workplace skills that helped her contributions be seen and valued.

Read how Jasbir turned every workplace learning opportunity into a stepping stone for growth. https://www.singaporetech.edu.sg/news/code-and-confidence-journey-growth-built-stages

A warm welcome to our 3,000 freshmen, the newest SITizens on campus! ✨

Our annual Club Fair was in full swing last week, giving our newest SITizens a taste of the many ways they could make their SIT journey their very own. 🙌

From sports and the arts to a wide range of interest groups, there was something for everyone to explore, alongside interactive workshops and live performances.

Here are some of our favourite highlights from the day!

A robot that doesn’t move where you need it to. Strings of code that you’re learning to unravel. What do you do next? 🤖

For over 300 students at Season 4 of the National Youth Tech Championship, the answer was to troubleshoot, adapt and try again – with some guidance from their SITizen mentors.

Singapore’s largest AI competition saw budding tech enthusiasts from close to 70 schools put their AI and robotics skills to the test in the competition's most challenging edition yet, programming autonomous robots to overcome a series of real-world-inspired challenges. Along the way, SITizens shared their own technical knowledge to help the techies get their robots rolling.

Congratulations to all the students and winning teams for their creativity, resilience and teamwork! 👏

If you weren't at SIT Helix 2026, the FOMO is real. 😮‍💨

Over 3 days, our newest cohort kicked off their journey as SITizens, making new friends across every Academic Cluster and settling into life on campus.

A major highlight of Helix was Community Connect! True to our SITizen-DNA of remaining grounded in the community, we hosted 720 beneficiaries for a day filled with games and shared moments. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with local seniors, youths, persons with disabilities, and our migrant worker friends who keep our community thriving.

Shoutout to our community partners + the Helix OC for pulling this off. To our newest SITizens, welcome to the fam. 🙌
