8. ＊Life is Tech ! STARS
Make the students heroes/heroines in IT field!
Life is Tech! is doing entrepreneurship education.
In order to make their own service sustainable, we
think it’s better to establish the company. Above
all, we support sales, PR, management, customer
support which can be a obstruction while running
the company so that they can concentrate on their
product. Currently two students started their own
company and keep brushing up their service.
Students come to find delight in IT on camp and learn professional skills with
online school. Their next objective is to make the world around them better. We
think that Entrepreneurship is using your own skills for the society.
In order to raise it, we promote 3 supports:
1. Incubation
2. releasing application
3. Admission Offices examination
①Incubation ②Releasing Application ③AO examination
If you want people to use your application or
game that you made, it’s the fastest way to
release in application store. We support
students for release and deployment.
Now more than 40 applications are released
and the number of Download became over
100,000.
If you learned how fan IT is, acquired skills,
and want to raise your knowledge more in
the university, You can choose AO
examination. We support to report what
you’ve done in Life is Tech!, make a
documentation, teach the good way for
presentation.
9. ＊Life is Tech ! Leaders
Raise University Students as IT Leaders → Find a job!
University Students can get IT skills,
communication skills, problem-solving
skills through our original training
program for more than 100 hours. It’s
necessary to take this program because
mentors should work as a professional
and also we pay for them. By spending
long time together, they can build the
good community over the school and
grades.
This Program is to raise university students as mentors who support junior and senior high school students. They should be the
persons who have high advanced skills and also good personality to teach the students. So we do training program for more than
100 hours to gain both IT and communication skills. What’s more, we propose new way to find a job cooperating with 9
companies that are leaders of IT industry.
①Training Program ②Join in Camp ③IT draft meeting
This is a recruiting program by 9 big IT
companies. Each company can hold the
original event and if they find good
students, they can pick them up by pointing
them personally in the IT draft meeting
which is the new way for recruiting.
Leaders who have advanced IT skills are
creating “the exit” to work in the IT industry.
The experience joining camp and school as
a mentor and working with junior and high
school students face to face would be
connected to improve the various abilities of
mentors.
Hanging the vision which is “We can grow
yourself up most by teaching things to
somebody”, mentors who frequently join in
camp can keep brushing up their skills and
mentality.

NUS School of Computing, expanding our service concept to
offer programming education under the same learning

who helped out during the camp are NUS students who are
majoring in computing.
