CJC at the Robocup Challenge 2023 and the International Space Challenge 2022
CJC at the RoboCup Autonomous Driving Challenges
This year, 2 teams from CJ participated in the RoboCup Asia-Pacific (RCAP) CoSpace Autonomous Driving Challenges, where they each programmed autonomous vehicles to navigate through a smart city in both real and virtual environments.
We would like to congratulate Team Ignition (Dang Vu Hai Dang and Max Liu Yufeng) for achieving 1st Place in the U19 category.
Congratulations as well to Team Chromium (Nicole Tan Ziyi, Neo Rui Feng Nigel and See Zhe An Bryan) for achieving 3rd place in the U19 category.

I’m Steve Jan Aureel from 2T28 and on behalf of my team, I would like to share a short reflection on the International Space Challenge that the 3 of us took part in ast year from Oct - Dec 2022.
The journey of following this competition all the way to completion is not an easy one. Our inexperience in this field proved to be a huge obstacle when it came to coming up with a sensible idea let alone the deliverables. However, through the guidance of our teacher and our mentors, we managed to learn a lot about astronomy and specifically about how satellites work and how much potential they hold to help us in our daily lives. We also had some hiccups along the way, unforeseen circumstances and distance made it really difficult to meet up and discuss. Yet, our team pulled through all the way to the end and we won a merit award as well as a cash prize of $500. This award is more than just a proof of our capabilities as a team, but also as proof of our grit and perseverance through-out the journey. Winners or not, I am proud to be a member of the team and forever grateful to our teacher Ms Tay Su Lynn and Alumni mentor Hubert Khoo who encouraged us to not give up.
