At the launch of Law Awareness Weeks @ CDC (LAW@CDC) 2026 on 3 October 2026, SMU student Joy Liew unveiled an app to help youth quit vaping, which was one of the winning student projects showcased at the event. Joy and her fellow SMU students Lee Yi Terng and Amber Tng created the app ClearAir for youth who had been caught vaping and wanted to quit. App users track their progress with daily check-ins and set financial goals to avoid spending their savings on vapes. They can also indicate locations where they feel triggered to vape, such as where their friends congregate, and the app will remind them when they are near these spots.
Another winning team from SMU realised that online infographics about legal information were unintelligible to screen readers – software which converts content on a screen into speech or Braille for visually impaired individuals. The group, made up of SMU students Jace Bong, Kristen Ng, Lim Chia Yeh, and Sean Cheng, created a platform, See-Kaki, with an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot which asks questions and guides visually impaired individuals through the employment claim process.
