Had an awesome time at SP!
Big thanks to one of my ex-interns for hooking me up with a tour of the robotics labs and other departments at Singapore Polytechnic. The campus is seriously impressive-not just in size, but in the sheer number of cool gadgets and high-tech toys (some very expensive ones too!). Honestly, I wouldn’t mind being a student there. Well done, SG! 👏
