Empowering Students with Real-World Tech Skills

The TCS goIT Mobile App Development Workshop, sponsored by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), was held on February 12th, 13th, and 14th, 2025 at Dewan Perdana Siswa 1, located in Kompleks Perdanasiswa, Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur. This exciting three-day event offered students a unique opportunity to dive into the world of mobile technology and innovation.

Representing MIKS at the workshop were five dedicated students—Sing Pi, Abbas, Mary, Cing No, and Sterling—anchored by their mentor, Mr. Ola. The team enthusiastically took part in all sessions and was recognized for their effort and participation with official certificates of participation.

Organized as part of TCS’s global STEM initiative, the goIT program aims to equip young minds with critical design thinking, app development, and problem-solving skills. Throughout the workshop, participants collaborated in teams, worked closely with tech mentors, and designed mobile app prototypes focused on solving real-world challenges.

The event concluded with a project presentation and competition, where all participating teams showcased their final app ideas. The jury was thoroughly impressed with the quality, creativity, and professionalism of the student presentations. Not only were the app concepts innovative, but the students also demonstrated clear communication, teamwork, and attention to social impact.

The workshop was not only a learning platform but also an inspiration for students to explore future careers in technology. It provided exposure to industry tools and workflows, empowering students to think beyond the classroom and toward creating solutions for tomorrow.

MIKS is proud of our students for their outstanding participation, and we extend our gratitude to Tata Consultancy Services, the workshop organizers, and the mentors who made this experience impactful and memorable.

MIKS ICT Expo 2023: Where Innovation Meets Creativity

The MIKS ICT Expo 2023 was a celebration of innovation, creativity, and digital skills, bringing together students from Ampang, Pudu, and Pandan Jaya centres to showcase their tech talents. With the theme “Exploring the Artistry of Technology”, the expo highlighted how young minds are merging technical skills with creative thinking to build impactful and original projects.

This year’s event saw enthusiastic participation from various student teams, including Hexagon, Dices, The Three Travelers, and Tech O, among others. Each team demonstrated their grasp of ICT concepts learned during the academic year—from digital storytelling and app development to interactive games, augmented reality, and ethical tech practices. The expo was not just a platform to display technical know-how, but also a chance for students to express their imagination, collaborate with peers, and present their projects to an audience of teachers, judges, and fellow learners.

One of the standout moments of the day came from Team Tech O, comprising students Win and AK from the Pudu centre. Their well-prepared and engaging delivery earned them the Best Presentation Award—a testament to their confidence, clarity, and passion for technology. They impressed the judges with their ability to explain complex processes in an accessible and enthusiastic manner.

But beyond awards, every team and participant walked away with something valuable—recognition for their hard work and a token of appreciation for their contributions. The event served as a motivational milestone for all students, encouraging them to continue exploring technology as a tool for learning, problem-solving, and personal growth.

The ICT Expo 2023 truly encapsulated the MIKS spirit: empowering students to think critically, work creatively, and lead confidently in the digital age. It was a day filled with discovery, innovation, and celebration—and a reminder that the future of tech is already being shaped in our classrooms.
