As the Elite 8's newest members begin the new semester, here's an update on what we've been up to. With individuals such as Penang's Docker Captain, Sujay Pillai, and Nathan Onn, the Elite 8 has organised in-house events and workshops for the benefit of students and the general public alike. To put their skills to the test, all members led their teams in a hackathon hosted by Forward School in collaboration with Exabytes and Vitrox, where they
presented their projects to a panel of judges composed of current industry experts. Choo and Tan, two of our previous members, flew to Singapore to collaborate with Click & Brew, Penang's first mechanical keyboard workshop cum cafe, to host a mechanical keyboard workshop for Meta Singapore employees.
Moving forward, we will organise more workshops for our fellow students with the goal of strengthening our grasp on relevant skills and tools required to become better developers. We will also be participating in future hackathons organised by the college and foreign organisations. By doing so this force hopes to inculcate our leadership potential whilst improving our ability to work in a team.
