==Novosphere – Mobile Auto industry shopping cart==
 +
 
 +
<span style="color:blue"><b>Project Background</b></span>
 +
The project aims to create a mobile application, which synergizes mobile convenience and brick-and-mortar shopping experiences together through incentivizing in the form of several loyalty rewards program schemes in the automotive industry.
 +
 
 +
<span style="color:blue"><b>Value Proposition</b></span>
 +
The mobile application will host multiple participating commercial merchants in an e-catalogue, segmented by brands, where automotive merchants are able to list their retailing products/services at retail and/or discounted prices. Customers are incentivized to earn rewards through 2 different loyalty schemes of their preferred choice, Cashback or Loyalty Points, when they visit brick-and-mortar shops.
 +
Customers would just need to simply scan the selected retail product/services through a QR code or barcode, transact through the mobile application via our mobile payment gateway, and earn X% of Cashback or X amount of Loyalty Points upon successful transaction.

Learning Goes Digital from Singapore in 2017: Creating a First-Ever Digital Case-Based Learning Mobile Platform
 +
 
 +
We help learning go digital. CLO LABS is a newly-launched company in
 +
Singapore in January 2017 to change how working professionals learn. The Founder has over a
 +
dozen years of experience in corporate learning and management consulting. From the current
 +
consulting model, CLO LABS aims to create products and platforms that will enable learning to go
 +
digital.
 +
 
 +
<span style="color:blue"><b>Project Goal: </b></span>
 +
To build a modern, digital case-based learning mobile platform for corporate
 +
learning and higher education, where teaching faculty can easily create and design case-based
 +
learning on the platform, and learners can learn using the interactive media case on their mobile
 +
via mobile app.
 +
 
 +
<span style="color:blue"><b>Project Background: </b></span>
 +
When was the last time you had to read a 30-page long case study of a
 +
company based in the US, with the case setting in late 1990s? And you had to print it out, or
 +
download a PDF copy to prepare for the class? Consumer needs, technological landscape,
 +
competitive environment… everything has changed. Learners in 2017 require contemporary, upto-
 +
date, attention-grabbing, easy to read, flexible, convenient style of learning. This project will
 +
be the first-ever mobile platform for case-based learning. More than 60,000 case studies exist in
 +
the market today, with hundreds of newly developed cases added to the collection each year,
 +
nothing like this exists today in the market.
 +
 
 +
<span style="color:blue"><b>Project Requirement: </b></span>
 +
The Founder of CLO LABS is a strategist with extensive experience in
 +
corporate learning and client management. He would like to work with a team with members
 +
who have strong mobile platform development skills (including mobile apps) and who are
 +
passionate about changing how people learn.
 +
Project requires:
 +
#A deep understanding of current problems (which the Founder will help)
 +
#A creative solution design that cater to the needs of modern day learners (ex. Working professionals)
 +
#A digital platform to create cases/content (like CMS) that is intuitive, simple, clean and extremely easy to use (Note: Imagine a 50-year old faculty member using it)
 +
#Mobile learning platform that young working professionals will love (with an app)
 +
 
 +
<span style="color:blue"><b>Benefits for You: </b></span>
 +
Not only is this a real-life, entrepreneurial project of a start-up company, it is
 +
also a great learning opportunity for you to work directly with the Founder and in a start-up
 +
environment. The Founder is willing to put in the hours to mentor you and help you sharpen
 +
your strategic thinking ability to bring an idea into a marketable product.

<span style="color:black"><b>Project Description:</b></span>
 +
 
 +
Develop a marketplace lending platform that will allow users to benefit from short term loans with reasonable rates of interest. The application will connect people with monetary needs with lenders having the appropriate risk appetite and lending capacity. The application should be able to run simulations leveraging on the existing SMU tBank applications for loan disbursement and repayment. The application will act as a virtual lending platform which will be used as a teaching aid for SMU masters and undergrad banking related courses.  Upon its success, it should be possible to run a pilot within the SMU community, and eventually move on to a Singapore wide launch.

<span style="color:blue"><b>About Flow Labs</b></span>
 +
We are a team of seasoned commodities traders and block-chain technologist that believe in the potential of using technology to enhance the way market participants interact with each other.  We aim to create a new set of tools from the ground up, using the latest innovations, to dramatically enhance market efficiency.  From marketplace to settlement to chronicling real-time movement of the commodity from origin to end-user.
 +
 
 +
<span style="color:blue"><b> Background</b></span>
 +
The trading application is to be developed for Liquefied natural gas (LNG) traders in Asia.  As the LNG industry shifts into oversupply, short term capacity trading will proliferate.  This creates a surge in trading volume as well as the need for better trading platforms.  Currently there are no efficient ways to trade short term LNG capacity and the creation of this platform/application will revolutionize this industry.
 +
 
 +
This application will be heavily used by LNG traders to analyze, execute and negotiate LNG auctions. The trading application interacts with a private Ethereum blockchain via a middleware API layer that generates and parses contract data.
 +
 
 +
This project will give you exposure to Blockchain, FinTech, and the multi-billion dollar LNG trading industry. You will in fact be a pioneer in creating blockchain-based  marketplace for commodities trading. Front-end web application development skills are required.

 +
<span style="color:blue"><b>Project 2: OpenHand</b></span>
 +
This project will be slightly more advanced that OpenMind, but we would only want to get it to prototype/testing stage in partnership with a number of other organisations
 +
 +
For context:
 +
financial giving (whether it be charitable donations from an individual to a group or specific charity, or from a family member living overseas to relatives back home, for example) is increasing. 20%+ of the Philippines economy/GDP is from Overseas Foreign Workers (OFWs)
 +
 +
In reality:
 +
If an individual transferring money to family, there is always a cost of transfer and the fear that money might not be spent on the best things by your family, especially in developing countries. Transfers are small (i.e. 1 person to 1 person), and generally limited to sending money only, this solution will allow the donor to actively participate in the benefits
 +
 +
For charitable giving, there is always a somewhat impersonal link to donation. i.e. you just give money to an overarching charity, with little oversight over what is specifically delivered, this project tries to provide a more personal connection between the donation and benefit.
 +
 +
The media also warps perceptions of what is needed for specific areas, e.g. certain charities that are ‘fashionable’ get an ‘unfair’ share of philanthropic giving. So, by providing a dashboard view users of the system will be able to identify where need is highest and so choose to target their  charity as they see fit.
 +
 +
This platform will put ‘science’ and data into charitable giving, helping many causes be ‘ranked’ against each other, as well as have specific things bought for them to make giving money ‘feel more real’
 +
 +
A group user can see a list of potential projects they can support with funding, and categorise them by things they care about (e.g. womens health, education, Asia, Africa). Projects that get a lot of funding go ‘green’ and projects that are behind go ‘red’
 +
Charity projects can also request certain items to be bought specifically from a ‘Marketplace’, giving the user a real connection with where their money goes (e.g. buying 10 tables for a specific school, or a hospital bed for a hospital)
 +
Users can talk with their beneficiaries, giving a personalised interaction with who they are supporting, and increasing the likelihood they will donate more to a good cause
 +
 +
A family can also create a ‘project’, whereby an individual overseas worker (or any family member) can purchase products from the ‘marketplace’ for their family to ensure the money is spent correctly (e.g. buying health insurance, or something similar).
 +
 +
A family member can also transfer money to their family using a cheaper online money transfer service, that we’ll integrated from an external supplier (e.g. Transferwise)

CLO LABS-Case-Based Learning Mobile Platform

Taken

About CLO LABS: Learning Goes Digital from Singapore in 2017: Creating a First-Ever Digital Case-Based Learning Mobile Platform

We help learning go digital. CLO LABS is a newly-launched company in Singapore in January 2017 to change how working professionals learn. The Founder has over a dozen years of experience in corporate learning and management consulting. From the current consulting model, CLO LABS aims to create products and platforms that will enable learning to go digital.

Project Goal: To build a modern, digital case-based learning mobile platform for corporate learning and higher education, where teaching faculty can easily create and design case-based learning on the platform, and learners can learn using the interactive media case on their mobile via mobile app.

Project Background: When was the last time you had to read a 30-page long case study of a company based in the US, with the case setting in late 1990s? And you had to print it out, or download a PDF copy to prepare for the class? Consumer needs, technological landscape, competitive environment… everything has changed. Learners in 2017 require contemporary, upto- date, attention-grabbing, easy to read, flexible, convenient style of learning. This project will be the first-ever mobile platform for case-based learning. More than 60,000 case studies exist in the market today, with hundreds of newly developed cases added to the collection each year, nothing like this exists today in the market.

Project Requirement: The Founder of CLO LABS is a strategist with extensive experience in corporate learning and client management. He would like to work with a team with members who have strong mobile platform development skills (including mobile apps) and who are passionate about changing how people learn. Project requires:

  1. A deep understanding of current problems (which the Founder will help)
  2. A creative solution design that cater to the needs of modern day learners (ex. Working professionals)
  3. A digital platform to create cases/content (like CMS) that is intuitive, simple, clean and extremely easy to use (Note: Imagine a 50-year old faculty member using it)
  4. Mobile learning platform that young working professionals will love (with an app)

Benefits for You: Not only is this a real-life, entrepreneurial project of a start-up company, it is also a great learning opportunity for you to work directly with the Founder and in a start-up environment. The Founder is willing to put in the hours to mentor you and help you sharpen your strategic thinking ability to bring an idea into a marketable product.

Contact: If you are interested and want to know more about the project, please contact Yoshi Mitsui, Founder of CLO LABS at y.mitsui@clolabs.com.

SMU tBank - Marketplace Lending Platform

Taken

Project Description:

Develop a marketplace lending platform that will allow users to benefit from short term loans with reasonable rates of interest. The application will connect people with monetary needs with lenders having the appropriate risk appetite and lending capacity. The application should be able to run simulations leveraging on the existing SMU tBank applications for loan disbursement and repayment. The application will act as a virtual lending platform which will be used as a teaching aid for SMU masters and undergrad banking related courses. Upon its success, it should be possible to run a pilot within the SMU community, and eventually move on to a Singapore wide launch.

“The mission of SMU tBank is to become a world class ‘teaching bank’, generating an on-going supply of undergrad and postgrad student projects whereby classroom learning outcomes can be put into practice, leveraging industry leading banking software and enterprise platforms.”

Background The trading application is to be developed for Liquefied natural gas (LNG) traders in Asia. As the LNG industry shifts into oversupply, short term capacity trading will proliferate. This creates a surge in trading volume as well as the need for better trading platforms. Currently there are no efficient ways to trade short term LNG capacity and the creation of this platform/application will revolutionize this industry.

This application will be heavily used by LNG traders to analyze, execute and negotiate LNG auctions. The trading application interacts with a private Ethereum blockchain via a middleware API layer that generates and parses contract data.

This project will give you exposure to Blockchain, FinTech, and the multi-billion dollar LNG trading industry. You will in fact be a pioneer in creating blockchain-based marketplace for commodities trading. Front-end web application development skills are required. Come join us if you like building applications on Ruby on Rails and ReactJS.

Project 1: Front-end Features:

  • List LNG auctions in the market
  • Create LNG auction
  • Bid on LNG auctions
  • List recent transactions
  • Display average trading price by region
  • Manage own auctions sorted by status (ongoing, under negotiation, completed)
  • Manage current bids
  • Update bid
  • Show recent LNG industry news
  • Send and receive encrypted chat messages (contract negotiation)
  • Perform HTTP API calls to middleware to generate and retrieve relevant blockchain data

Project 2: Middleware

  • Connect to local Ethereum node
  • Listen for transactions (auction creation and bids) on blockchain, index data to a local database
  • Serve auction and bids data via a HTTP REST API, to be consumed by front-end application (described above).
  • Generate and broadcast an Ethereum contract for LNG auctions (a contract that can be bidded on)
  • Facilitate a 2 party encrypted chat channel for LNG contract negotiations.

Skills Required (for Trading Application)

  • Ruby on Rails (Preferred framework, but we are open to other front-end tools, talk to us about it)
  • HTML, Javascript, CSS, general front-end UI knowledge, familiar with best practices or learn along the way
  • Databases: Postgresql or Mysql, Redis, InfluxDB (time series database)
  • Familiar with HTTP protocol, designing APIs and making API calls

Allied World Healthcare - OpenMind/Open Hand

Taken

About Allied World Healthcare We are at the leading lead of emerging talent crowdsourcing enterprises. With support from PwC, University of Cambridge, NUS and SMU we deliver free healthcare services to rural, poor communities. We do this by leveraging our wide international network of diverse expertise and technology to empower existing community assets to give ‘health worker-like’ services in hard-to-reach areas. Our payback to team members seconded by international corporations and post-graduate student teams is a valuable mixed environment with international leadership and a profound real world impact across South East Asia.

We are an existing partner of SMU and one of our core systems has been built by a team of students. We have loved working with such bright young talent, and are keen to find a new team to partner with for a core, complimentary platform: OpenMind.

Project 1: OpenMind To build OpenMind – a tool where anyone can post a new project idea that will have a positive social impact, find partners, add news skills when required, and have an open tool to help them manage the actual project delivery and evidence gathering (which is critical to proving project success, and scaling great initiatives that help people).

Project Scope An application that can fulfil six core functional scope areas:

  1. A sign up process that creates a profile for user (e.g. researcher, project lead, financier, clinician, any many other relevant roles to deliver new projects). This will create a user profile, which will have adjustable privacy settings.
  2. A portal to post new projects and research concepts, both early stage and in-progress
    1. Descriptions will be detailed and across multiple areas, to allow projects at all stages to gain value (e.g. for a new idea to find funding, but also for an established project that just needs to find one more resource).
  3. Collaboration Tools
    1. Integrate a set of collaboration and communication tools whereby users can search for others users by skills/role/location etc (e.g. if a project in Cambodia needed support from an international diabetes clinician, they could search for support and send a job description out)
    2. Have integrated communications tools (flexible, but could include messaging, forums etc)
  4. Project Management Space
    1. Create a simple space for in-progress projects (that will be expanded over time) to give a free tool for users to input, view and manage key social impact and research project delivery
    2. This will integrated with the other system areas. E.g. there could be a list of all project staff, and the vacant Diabetes Clinician role could be advertised. When people apply their profiles show up in this section for review/approval/interview/declining etc
  5. Integrated Digital Marketing
    1. These features will be integrated with broader social media channels. E.g. if someone advertises a role or potential collaboration in OpenMind, they will be able to automatically put it on Twitter or Facebook, by linking their social media accounts with OpenMind
    2. OpenMind itself will also promote externally, e.g. to an OpenMind Cambodia Twitter account, and in a series of newsletters to users (where information is automatically sent according to user profile type)

Deliverable Complete working platform with proper and relevant documentation. The requirements above will be fully scoped and prioritised with the successful team, to create a well-sized project for time available.

Project 2: OpenHand This project will be slightly more advanced that OpenMind, but we would only want to get it to prototype/testing stage in partnership with a number of other organisations

For context: financial giving (whether it be charitable donations from an individual to a group or specific charity, or from a family member living overseas to relatives back home, for example) is increasing. 20%+ of the Philippines economy/GDP is from Overseas Foreign Workers (OFWs)

In reality: If an individual transferring money to family, there is always a cost of transfer and the fear that money might not be spent on the best things by your family, especially in developing countries. Transfers are small (i.e. 1 person to 1 person), and generally limited to sending money only, this solution will allow the donor to actively participate in the benefits

For charitable giving, there is always a somewhat impersonal link to donation. i.e. you just give money to an overarching charity, with little oversight over what is specifically delivered, this project tries to provide a more personal connection between the donation and benefit.

The media also warps perceptions of what is needed for specific areas, e.g. certain charities that are ‘fashionable’ get an ‘unfair’ share of philanthropic giving. So, by providing a dashboard view users of the system will be able to identify where need is highest and so choose to target their charity as they see fit.

This platform will put ‘science’ and data into charitable giving, helping many causes be ‘ranked’ against each other, as well as have specific things bought for them to make giving money ‘feel more real’

A group user can see a list of potential projects they can support with funding, and categorise them by things they care about (e.g. womens health, education, Asia, Africa). Projects that get a lot of funding go ‘green’ and projects that are behind go ‘red’ Charity projects can also request certain items to be bought specifically from a ‘Marketplace’, giving the user a real connection with where their money goes (e.g. buying 10 tables for a specific school, or a hospital bed for a hospital) Users can talk with their beneficiaries, giving a personalised interaction with who they are supporting, and increasing the likelihood they will donate more to a good cause

A family can also create a ‘project’, whereby an individual overseas worker (or any family member) can purchase products from the ‘marketplace’ for their family to ensure the money is spent correctly (e.g. buying health insurance, or something similar).

A family member can also transfer money to their family using a cheaper online money transfer service, that we’ll integrated from an external supplier (e.g. Transferwise)

The benefits OpenMind will give the social impact community a new tool and platform to work together in, increasing collaboration and positive impact across the world.

For our partners and this team, you will get intimate insight across a number of global organisations to scope our requirements and learn from a numerous global businesses about their needs. The product will be live and used as it is developed by you, giving an excellent credential on your CV and strong reference for future job searching.

You will work closely with AWH’s CTO and developers as part of our broader IT team, working to all common industry standards and using industry-leading tools; all if which will support your development in the ‘real world’ and give valuable skills for your future careers.

Aldora Training - Mobile Game + Human Interaction App

Taken

About Aldora Training Aldora Training is a training and development consultancy group that specialises in soft skills training programmes for a wide range of industries across government, private as well as educational institutions. We believe in the development and engagement of individuals and the power of programmes to help individuals find their passion and purpose in life.

Problem to Solve With increased use of social media, online games etc, more and more people are engaging in activities through apps and online platforms. Sometimes, through these platforms, we lose connections with the people around us as we focus more on the online world and less in the real world.

Project Description We are looking to develop an app that engages people with both the uniqueness and engagement of social media, online games etc as well as bringing people together in real life and uniting them as one team through fun, engaging activities that can be played off an app but together as a team to build teamwork and positive team dynamics.

Potential options can be:

  1. Online activities such as trivia questions on the app which they have to find the answers from by searching for clues at the location they are at.
  2. Doing a group pose that they will have to “wefie” and post on the app
  3. Game options that the groups can select from the app and utilise it before the other groups playing the game. Such as a “Extra Time” card if they accomplish a certain task etc. The app should show these cards in real time and if they have been utilised by other groups or not
  4. Directions on the app to direct teams to particular locations at their venue to find a specific object and to take a pic of that object and upload it onto the app
  5. Real time scoreboard on the app so groups can see how the rest are doing and potential options for them to catch up such as more challenging tasks to help them earn more points etc

Value Proposition To develop a new way of building bonds within a team that utilizes the engagement of online tools such as social media, gaming etc, but in the real world context with real team mates and groups.

Uniqueness Currently, it’s either a fully online game in the virtual world, or a physical teambuilding game in the real world. We are looking for an app/platform that would be able to combine the two elements in a seamless manner. To engage participants through online gaming but in the real world context and with real people.

Project Scope To build a gaming app that is able to bring teams together as participants work together towards a common goal both in the online world as well as in the real world.

The Black Sun - Annual Report System

About Project

  • Annual Reports (ARs) are produced each year by SGX listed companies for stakeholders (shareholders, analysts, bankers, funds, regulators and other interested parties).
  • The SGX Listing Rules and the Code of Corporate Governance provides guidance on the form and substance of the ARs to be produced. However, the range and quality of ARs can be quite broad and varied.
  • SGX provides a listing of ARs listed on the SGX but these are curated and analysed at a high level (http://www.sgx.com/wps/portal/sgxweb/home/company_disclosure/annual_financial).
  • There are other similar listings such as www.annualreports.com
  • The SGX Stockfacts (http://www.sgx.com/wps/portal/sgxweb/home/company_disclosure/stockfacts) provides more detailed analysis of the financials.
  • The Black Sun and IIRC Best Practices Reporting Databases reviews and publishes ARs that meet best practices criteria (http://bestpractice.blacksunplc.com/corporate/database/home and *http://examples.integratedreporting.org/getting_started)
  • There are other websites that curate ARs (https://www.listcorp.com/ and http://database.globalreporting.org but the challenge is keeping the details updated
  • Depending on the coverage by analysts, each AR may be subjected to different levels of analysis and comparison with industry peers. The coverage by each analyst will also vary, depending on the analyst’s experience and depth of coverage.
  • The Singapore Corporate Awards reviews ARs on a submission basis. This self-selection criteria would preclude lower standard ARs from being reviewed.
  • Based on current market best practices, good ARs will continue to be featured because they are good. This self-selection criteria doesn’t encourage the not-so-good ARs to improve, and by extension, the capital market won’t be able to go to the next level.
  • In order to raise the bar for the Singapore capital market, the ARs of all listed companies should be reviewed and curated. With this, sub-par ARs will be encouraged to improve.

Opportunity

  • To develop a system where all SGX listed companies can upload their ARs in PDF format, and the subsequent analysis will be automated.
  • This ”self-help” approach will reduce curating to a minumum.
  • Text analytics will be generated based on the automated analysis of the uploaded PDF ARs.
  • Standard text analytics can be publicly published, while more sensitive ones can be restricted on a request basis.
  • Stakeholders will be able to compare the text analytics between different ARs from the same sector or different sectors.
  • This system will focus on the text alone, as the review of the financials is already being done by SGX and analysts.
  • In future, when technology is available, analysis of photos, infographics and other images may be possible.

Deliverable: A system where all SGX listed companies can upload their Annual Reports and generate standard text analytics. The schematic of the proposed system is as follows. The system should be able to generate basic text analytics results such as

  1. word counts of relevant words such as “risk” and “growth”. The system should have a repository of commonly used key words in Annual Reports
  2. the context of these key words I.e. where they appear
  3. readability
  4. sentiments
  5. "who, what and where" is being discussed in the Annual Report.

RoboStudio - Robot App development for restaurant robot

About RoboStudio RoboStudio is a young startup founded by SMU Alumni focusing on Robot App development. Our mission is to develop Robot Applications to bring values to robot users.

Project Description Develop Frontend Robot App to provide holistic functionalities for restaurant robot: Greeting to Customer -> Ordering -> Delivering food to table -> Payment

Problem to solve F&B industry is experiencing a tough time. A key contributor is the high labor cost and shortage. The reason why robotics is not widely used yet is that there are still big gaps between customer requirement and existing robot functionalities. (Existing robot just holds a tray and walks around.)

Value proposition To restaurant: Save labor cost; To robot hardware vendor: Provide software as supplementary product to boost robot sales and usage.

Uniqueness We will be the first company to focus on Robot App development in Singapore and one of the few in the world. After mastering this competency, we can apply the same to other service industries – Banking, Hospital, Government agencies… Big potentials.

Project Scope Develop prototype for Remote RoboLab, which will provide robots with fun tasks under camera. Robotics Programming learners without a physical robot can use this lab to assist their learning remotely.

We will focus on the Frontend App layer, to interface with Backend layer. Similar to the relationship between Mobile App and Mobile hardware. I created the term Robot App (Mimic the term Mobile App), while the trend is that robot hardware will be standardized. Robot App is the soul of the robot and becomes more and more critical.

  • The development will be done using Java (Android platform) or VB (Windows platform). So IS students could be a good fit from skillset perspective.

The Backend layer are developed using C, C++ or Python etc., which will be taken charge by robot hardware vendors. We (Frontend App) will interface with them like calling an API.

  • There are only about 3-4 robot hardware vendors in Singapore right now, with some Robot App embedded in their products. But the functionalities are very limited.

That’s also why few restaurants are using robots yet. And this is the problem / gap we are trying to tackle. It has big potentials.

Opportunities Robotic is the next big thing for Singapore and the world. Besides the values your work will bring to our customers (Save labor cost etc.), it’s a good opportunity for you to learn hands on experience for this promising skill.

Skills required Front end and web development skills like Java, Full Stack etc., which will call API to control the robots. Python skills is preferred, which will be used to develop the API. Of course, we are looking for people with passion, commitment and entrepreneurship.

What you can get Hands-on experience with robotics and startup, which will equip you with the hottest skillsets to get your job, or start your own startup.

Luppi - Digital marketing system

Taken

About Team Luppi A concoction of youth and experience, where our collective realism is blended with the juvenescence of imagination, allowing us to soar - without the contempt of Icarus.

The confluence of cultures and ideologies that spans 3 demographics – X, Y and Millennials – Luppi is ideally conceived for the general community to engage and interact. Without the encumbrance and prejudice of bureaucracy that has somewhat glazed the enthusiasm of a Gen Xer, the young, however, embraces the innocence of possibilities!

Let us support you in conceptualizing an idea, and you, to help us dream again.

About Luppi Mobile Application LUPPI – coincidentally an acronym - Linking Up People & Professionals Instantly. It is a Service-Hailing mobile App, and is currently available on both Apple Store and Google Play.

Service providers’ platforms such as Thumbtack (US), Servishero (MY), Kaodim (MY), PageAdvsior (SG), and Findapro (SG) are conceptualized based on a digitized tendering and/or professional & product listing model. These methodologies are conventional and their effectiveness have been shown to be diminishing with time and technology.

Luppi works on a very different logic sequence. It is built on a reverse enquiry structure as oppose to the time-consuming conventional process of searching for what they want.

Luppi empowers the user/client to “hail” for services, and be attended to instantaneously by relevant professionals of the service/product that he/she seeks.

“We aim to create a unique client experience where the consumer feels like a private client or the uber-rich where if you want something, people will come and render their services to you at a snap of your fingers.”

Project Scope The desired outcome would be an internal web application that can fulfill these requirements below:

  1. Database processing engine
    1. Systematic and Customizable data query fields
    2. Open ended, standardized platform that can readily be assimilated to another.
  2. Recommendation engine
    1. Develop a recommendation engine that enables us to know what other services we can recommend users base on their choices
  3. Predication engine
    1. Develop a prediction engine that can predict the user’s future behavior based on his/her past choices
  4. Digital Marketing
    1. Targeted marketing towards different category of customers
    2. Search engine marketing and search engine optimization

Bobby Harjani - Targeted learning platform

Taken

TARGETED LEARNING Using big data to sharpen learning.

Purpose To create a targeted online learning platform that will diagnose students’ strengths and weaknesses and improve their performance by producing personalised tests.

Background Singapore’s education system is competitive and stressful. Students are cumbered with heavy workloads and high expectations. Parents spend a fortune on providing tuition for their children. With big data so prevalent in the world we live in, is it possible to use technology and data to improve the education experience of a student? We think it is possible.

Solution Every student leaves a data trial in his/her education life. This data trial can be analysed in real-time to better understand the behaviour of students and deliver an optimal learning environment. We want to develop algorithms that will analyse student performance and give instant feedback to students, teachers and parents. We will be partnering a local tuition centre to test bed the idea.

How It Works

  1. Questions are drawn from a data bank (Singapore’s education syllabus).
  2. Students answer the questions on the learning platform.
  3. The platform tracks students’ strengths and weaknesses by:
    1. Marking the questions
    2. Tracking the time taken to answer each question
    3. Which questions they skipped
  4. Platform generates subsequent personalised tests for each student, focusing on their weaknesses.
  5. Platform produces instant feedback and detailed analysis (e.g. charts, statistics) for each student. This analysis enables teachers and parents to keep track of the student’s performance.

About Project The Singapore Public Service is the first Public Service in the world to go onboard Workplace@FB. This is an exciting journey into unchartered territory. Traditionally, each of the 80 agencies has their own intranet and internal communication channels. Attempts have been made to pull the Whole of Government together communication channels but reaching out to over 140 000 employees of the Singapore Public Service is challenging.

Attempts have been made before thru different platforms, and Workplace™ by Facebook hopefully shifts the paradigm in how the Public Service engages the 140,000 employees across Singapore, in a variety of locations, job families, and interest. The roll out of Workplace has already started and should complete by Mar 2017.

But looking forward, the PSD core team would like to explore ways to make Workplace less of a social platform and add more functionality to the system. Below is a link to what we want to achieve. FB Singapore is very supportive in terms of resources and tools and we expect a close partnership between the 2 parties.

Link to what we want to achieve

Key Technology: Workplace Messenger Platform (similar to Facebook Messengers)

The project is composed of the following phases

  1. Basic (show me the potential)
    • Design, Customisation and Programming of at least 2 Chat bots for specific agencies, that can be adapted from WP’s current Alpha stages.
    • Testing, roll out, troubleshooting and support for these 2 chat bots
  2. Intermediate (solve my greatest needs)
    • Development of NEW Chat bots (#greatideas bot) and #ineedhelp bot for specific agencies, based on requirement gathering
    • Development of Event Registration functionality
  3. Advanced (show me the possibilities)
    • Scaling and rolling out to more agencies, based on standard templates
    • Start on gathering requirements to find the unmet needs of other agencies

St Joseph’s Institution Junior – A Learning Platform for Learning Mandarin

Taken

About Project Learning languages is always a challenge for students at a young age. Learning their Mother Tongue, however trivial it may seem, is an even greater challenge. Learning is nuanced by the different interpretations, dialect groups, influences and learning styles of the students and their families.

As such, SJI Junior is seeking to develop a web-based learning tool for their students from Pri 1 – 3. The project is composed of the following phases

  • Basic
    • Analysis of current learning style (as recommended by MOE)
    • Design and development of learning platform, encompassing:
      • Reading characters
      • Writing characters
      • Composition of characters
    • Testing
  • Intermediate
    • Gamification of learning
  • Advanced
    • Learning analytics of students

Deliverable: In an ideal stage, the platform is developed for the web and mobile-friendly. As this is the first time such an endeavor is undertaken, the platform is targeted for learning Mandarin. Future projects could involve learning Malay and Tamil. Apart from students of P1 – P 3, this learning platform is also targeted for users of special needs and other schools under the Lasallian umbrella.

Stakeholders: SJI Junior will provide expert guidance on the pedagogy and learning science underpinning the learning of the language. They will also provide a deployment framework and suitable test-bed to ensure the successful delivery of the platform.

VWO - Make a difference

About VWO project Want a rewarding project that can make a difference in people's life?

Ideas You can wait for some VWO to propose a project, or you can propose one with a VWO.

Last term, team Creovate won the IS480 Best Value for Sponsor award. More importantly, they made a difference in someone else's life.

"Just one small example....as I was having lunch in Little India this week, I met one of the workers I'm assisting. He reported confusion at MOM about whether they recognised that he had discharged a lawyer handling his injury claim. On my hp, I could bring up the lawyer discharge letter and email it out again to both the lawyer and MOM. Very powerful and helpful to have such capability on my hp at any time and place." - TWC2 Project Sponsor Dr. Pat Meyer
