RP Students in action:
The students put in a lot of effort and hard work during the school holidays and seeing their application being deployed on the mobile phones or PDAs gave them great satisfaction. Although they did not manage to clinch any prizes this year, they have benefited from the training and exposure they received from the whole process of the event.
