IEx Hackathon

How can we generate ideas? How do we solve problems upstream? How do we co-create practical, innovative solutions and what does it mean to create meaningful impact? IEx Hackathon is a key step in laying the foundations for projects that will span two years, where students will get to brainstorm with each other, hear from practitioners and get advice from faculty members.

Guest Lectures

Special lectures by distinguished servant leaders and eminent practitioners form an important part of NUS College’s vision to encourage and inspire action for positive change. From time to time, students and alumni may also get the chance to hear from luminaries, such as Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.

IMPACT FESTIVAL

Impact Festival is an annual event where students showcase their findings and reflections from their IEx projects. The first batch of IEx will complete their project at the inaugural Impact Festival in 2025.
