SC14 Interview: Team Singapore (National University of Singapore)

February 12, 2015 · Dan Olds

School_Logo_Singapore_ThumbThey smiled a lot, but didn’t say a whole lot. Obviously this was due to the language barrier, not reluctance to engage in my tedious video projects. (I think.)

It’s obvious that the guys didn’t scribble their pre-competition architecture proposal on cocktail napkins while swilling Singapore Slings at the Long Bar. It was one of the most data- and thought-filled proposals I’ve seen in years.

In the video, we talk about how the team is approaching the apps. They weren’t familiar with them before the competition, but have hopefully picked up enough to stay in contention. As the video rolls, you’ll hear the Siren of Doom at least once, just to break things up.

You’ll also see me give the team a short pep talk about the sacrifices demanded by student cluster competitions. They were completely nonplussed by my dramatics. Must be the language barrier, right?
