The Student Programme Leaders (SPL) from NUS High have a special note for the participants of the Endeavour Track.
Dear Student Participants of the Local Endeavour Track,
A warm welcome to all joining us in Singapore for the Singapore International Mathematics and Computational Challenge (SIMC 2.0) 2024! This experience will be unforgettable as we interact and establish ties with one another through our shared passion for mathematics and computing.
To have a general idea of what is to come, please find below an overview of the activities for the five days and the programmes we have planned for you.
Day 1: 20 May 2024 (Monday)
In the morning, you will be picked up at the NUS High Concourse by our friendly Student Programme Liaisons (SPL). The SPLs will be your buddies in school during SIMC. After attendance-taking, there will be a SIMC programme briefing and Opening Ceremony. After lunch, there will be a poster viewing session of the Explore track posters, followed by a workshop for the Endeavour track participants conducted by our Chief Setter. Right after, we will proceed with a guided tour of the school and icebreaker games around the NUS High School campus. If you wish to get comfortable during the games, pack a change of casual clothes.
