The Centre for Innovative Service-Learning wishes you all a happy and healthy new year! In 2022, we learned to cope well with the pandemic and school life gradually returned to normal. We had loads of in-person service-learning activities and our students went to great lengths to showcase their remarkable deliverables in public. At the same time, TriAngle organised different competitions to encourage students to design and build innovative prototypes that cater for the needs of our society. We look forward to seeing more of you in TriAngle this semester!
