A six-member team from Chung Hwa Middle School, BSB proudly secured the First Runner-Up position at the highly regarded IET Faraday Challenge 2025, held on September 21 at the Multipurpose Hall of University Technology Brunei.
Organized by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), Brunei, the Faraday Challenge is a STEM competition that encourages students to think like engineers. This year’s event challenged participants to apply coding, computational thinking, and real-time problem-solving skills in dynamic scenarios. The CHMS BSB team rose to the occasion, showcasing remarkable technical acumen, creativity, and collaborative spirit.
“The challenge was eye-opening—it pushed us out of our comfort zones and helped us grow not just as students, but as future innovators,” reflected one team member.
Principal Mdm. Kho Guik Lan commended the students for their achievement, stating:
“I am incredibly proud of the way you represented our school—with integrity, enthusiasm, and a spirit of excellence. Your journey inspires others to dream big and work hard, and I have no doubt that this is just the beginning of many more accomplishments to come.” Beyond the technical demands, the competition emphasized the value of teamwork and effective communication. CHMS BSB’s team demonstrated resilience under pressure, exchanging ideas and supporting one another to solve complex tasks—skills that will serve them well in both academic and professional pursuits.
The school extends its sincere appreciation to IET Brunei for hosting this transformative event and for their continued efforts in nurturing young minds through engineering innovation. Opportunities like these not only sharpen students’ abilities but also inspire them to contribute meaningfully to the future of Brunei Darussalam.
