For the second time ever, SMU School of Information Systems organised its annual National Coding Championships. This year, over 200 junior college and polytechnic students took part in the coding competition. The competition aims to increase students' exposure to coding, as well as raise their awareness about the career choices available to those who pursue an education in information systems and computer science. Associate Professor of Information Systems (Education) Chris Boesch, organiser of the competition, said, "I enjoyed observing how the teams started off with very basic strategies at the beginning of the Code Combat arena event. Over time, their strategies and sophistication began to evolve as the students learned more about the application programmable interface that was available."
