About the Infocomm Media Clubs Programme

IMDA’s Infocomm Media Clubs (IMC) Programme provides an enriching CCA (Co-Curricular Activities) experience for IMC members across Ministry of Education (MOE) primary and secondary schools and junior colleges, as well as the Millennia Institute. Students interested in technology and media will benefit from joining an IMC, where they can strengthen their tech and media skills, learn about emerging technologies, and gain industry exposure.

IMC Programmes

The curated programmes and activities in the following 5 pillars are aligned with MOE’s CCA LEAPS framework and provide opportunities for club members to obtain CCA points:

LEARN: Enriching tech and media courses

Under the LEARN pillar, IMC members will undergo training in various infocomm and media domains such as AI, game development, and mobile app development. 

LEARN has two training modes:

EXCEL: National Youth Tech Championship

IMDA’s annual tech competition - the National Youth Tech Championship – provides a platform for IMC members to learn, excel, and be recognised for their achievements.

In 2023, more than 230 students from 51 secondary schools immersed themselves in an exhilarating 6-week competition where they acquired AI skills and participated in a series of thrilling tech challenges. Open to all Secondary school students from the Infocomm Media Clubs, the National Youth Tech Championship aims to cultivate curiosity, confidence and creativity in technology amongst youths. 

Organised by IMDA in partnership with Google Cloud, participants received hands-on training and worked in teams to solve weekly thematic challenges designed by Google engineers. The students then applied their new tech skills to build AI models and used these models to control drones.

Congratulations to the winning teams of Season One!

Watch the National Youth Tech Championship web series on YouTube below and see how these students tackled AI and drone challenges to emerge as championship winners!
