Alice in Action competition

By Miss Goh -

We are pleased to inform you of the launch of this year’s ALICE-in-Action Challenge – a competition that introduces students to the concepts of computer programming in a new and engaging manner.

ALICE-in-Action is an Information Technology (IT) challenge, jointly organised by the Temasek Polytechnic Informatics & IT School and the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) of Singapore. This is a national competition open to all secondary school students.

ALICE is a simple-to-use tool that familiarises students with programming concepts in a fun and interactive manner. We would like to invite your students to participate in this competition and demonstrate their talent for programming. The theme for this year’s challenge is ‘Storytelling through Animation’. Students are required to develop an interactive animation to tell a story. The animation should be interesting, entertaining and engaging.

This competition is part of the National Infocomm Competition (NIC) co-ordinated by IDA. Registration is now open until 13 September 2010 (Monday). The entry form as well as the rules and regulations for the ALICE-in-Action Challenge are attached. The deadline for project submission is 27 September 2010 (Monday). The Challenge finals will be held on 4 November 2010 (Thursday) at LT13, Temasek Polytechnic.
