Connecting Over a Movie

Image
On the night of 8 July 2016, 125 NYP SIT students and alumni, and current members of the Singapore Computer Society (SCS) Student Chapter, turned up for Movie Fiesta Night at Golden Village, Suntec City to catch the movie Central Intelligence. The event was organised by the NYP SIT Club and the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). The Write Stuff was invited to cover the event, and together with my co-writer, Ritz Yeo, we had a great time. It was a great opportunity for the SCS Student Chapter and NYP SIT alumni to get to know each other better. We spoke with current NYP SIT student Noelle Sim, 20, who was waiting for her friend to arrive.

Making Data Fun And Easy To Understand with SAP Lumira

Image
On the 16th of March, Nanyang Polytechnic�s School of Information Technology (NYP SIT) held a SAP Lumira training workshop for secondary school students. The software is created by the German technology conglomerate, SAP, and enables users to present data in a fun and visually appealing manner. I volunteered as a Student Helper and also had the opportunity to learn more about the software. What is SAP Lumira? SAP Lumira organises regular data from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (or from a database) and converts it into an easy to understand and visually appealing format. The example infographic on the left looks as if it was created by a professional designer on Photoshop but in reality, it was created using SAP Lumira. With drag and drop tools, SAP Lumira makes it easy to present lots of numbers and data without boring people.
