Gametize X TJC WOW! Program 2024
In January of 2024, we once again had the privilege of welcoming students from Temasek Junior College (TJC) as part of their WOW! Program attachment.
This year, we had the pleasure to host three students – Colby, Ethan, and Joel. As we transition to a hybrid work model, we convene in the office weekly and conduct most of our check-ins virtually.
Over the 4 weeks, they were tasked to create 2 projects using our Gametize platform, and write 2 articles detailing the inspiration behind the game and reflections. Stay tuned for their articles on the topics such as Cyberbullying, ADHD, and Cyber Addiction. In the meantime, check our their games here:

We also had the opportunity to bring them along with us to Science Centre Singapore for a client meeting, as well as involving them in our SMU x Gametize Hackathon 2024.
Finally… on their last day, we had them present their project as well as their article to our Head of Academy, Guan Heng, where they received valuable feedback. We also had a debrief with them together with our Gametize Academy Team. During the debrief, we got them to share their challenges, takeaways, as well as feedback for us during these 4 weeks.
We were also delighted to hear that this experience gave them a unique opportunity to step out of their usual comfort zone, and it challenged them to learn, grow and be adaptable.
As much as they had enjoyed their time here, we also had a great time mentoring them. Shine bright and all the best to Colby, Joel, and Ethan!
