Achievements by Astronomy Club 2011

The astronomy club takes part in three major competitions every year: The NYP astronomy competition at Nanyang Polytechnic, the Astrigue competition jointly hosted by Hwa Chong and RI, and the NUS-NTU Astro challenge.

 

 

Four finalists, winning merit prize:  Soon Wei Jun (M11407), Clarence Cheong (M11402), Stanley Quek (M11405), Eric Lim (M11407)
