Center for Digital Security & Investigations Lab

Here in TP we believe in providing our students opportunities to work with real projects and cases.  The Centre for Digital Security & Investigations has been set up in collaboration with the Singapore Infocomm Technology Security Authority (SITSA). It creates a realistic environment to train students in three key security areas: incident response, monitoring and audit, as well as digital artifact analysis.

Exclusive Scholarships....

Did you know that there are many scholarships opportunities for students seeking a diploma in IT?  In our small diploma, we have IDA scholars, TP Scholars & HomeTeam scholars.  You can find out more about the various scholarships here.

Even better, come down to TP OpenHouse and there will be counsellors to provide advise. 
Good luck!

TP Rawks 2012

Hi Everyone!
TPRawks has successfully ended on 21st November! From 19th to 21st November, some DFS teachers and students have helped out in the TPRawks event. For DFS, our game was to identify the criminal by comparing the fingerprints. Thanks to those who have helped out in TPRawks! If not for everyone, it would not have run smoothly. Below are some pictures taken during TPRawks.

CCN Day

Hi everyone!

On the 18th of May 2012, we had our Campus Care Network (CCN) Day. CCN Day Carnival is the signature event of the TP Campus Care Network. It is held twice a year and the whole polytechnic would come together in the spirit of sharing and caring. Staff and students collaborate to set up stalls to raise funds for TP’s needy students in every CCN Day Carnival. The enthusiastic participation of both staff and students shows the caring spirit in Temasek Polytechnic.

My class, C301, decided to set up a cafe style eatery in LT2. We were screening a movie while the customers would patronize our stall. Our stall's name was called 'Famous Lena's' because one of our classmates, Lena, made most of the cakes and pies. Aliah also helped in making other cupcakes and brownies.

Below are some pictures of what we sold.

We are thankful to have this opportunity where we could come together to help charity and also bond as a class. All the time and effort spent to set this up was worth it as all of us had enjoyed ourselves. I'm looking forward to the next CCN day! Are you? (:

Girls in Tech D+D Day

On 26^th May, Saturday, four girls from DFS, Verbena, Kiki, Xiu Mei and Crystal, went for Google’s D+D Day. It is in collaboration with Girls in Tech and Thought Works. It started from 9am with the opening speech by Girls in Tech Singapore. The speaker talked about 4 Es, engage, empower, educate and energize. To engage, empower, educate and energize like-minded, professional, intelligent and influential women in technology. That was in the context of Girls in Tech. In the context of DFS, it is to engage people in IT security and forensic to empower them with the skills in it by educating them with the required knowledge and skills. Hence it will energize like-minded, professional, intelligent and influential people in Digital Forensics.

The second speaker is by Thought Works Design Department. The most impressionable thing I remember from the second speaker is the democratization of design. How everyone should be a part of designing something so to meet the needs of the consumer better.

Then the third speaker is from Google. He talked about 6 things of Google. Google App Engine, Monetarism, Android, Google Maps, Google + and Google Chrome. It was the first time we felt that we know so much about Google. He also showed us an interesting video of Project Glass which they have already been starting to test it.

Last but not least, the last speaker of the day is from Thought Works Development Department. From him, we learnt a lot of important people in the history of IT such as Ada Lovelace, the first programmer in history and etc.

Then it was Tai Chi Session which was quite fun stretching after sitting for a few hours listening to the speeches. Then it was lunch and after lunch we get to choose which workshop we want to attend. There were 1 design and 3 development workshops. We chose to go for the design workshop and one thing we learnt in the design workshop is design can be done by just simple shapes.

Finally, it was Q&A session with the panel of speakers. From those questions, we learnt a lot about things that we would learn in school so overall it was a great experience there.
