Open to all participants in Singapore. We welcome Singaporean and international students to take part in the competition.

Participants currently residing in Vietnam (or other countries) please be prepared to cover your airfares & accommodation for your trip to Singapore to participate in 24-hour Challenge in early December. However, we’re working hard on sponsorship to subsidize you the costs.

Participants will take part in the Main Challenge as a team. Each team can have 3- 4 members.
