In November 2025, a couple of my friends and me was granted the opportunity from the school to attend a 2-week Computing-related Internship (since we all took O-Level Computing as a subject). This internship was with Tinkertanker Pte Ltd, a Singaporean technology and education company that teaches electronics, software, and tech in general, and also builds (and sells) cool tech-related stuff. You can visit their website at [https://tinkertanker.com/](https://tinkertanker.com/).

# Personal Reflections


## Taking the Initiative

This internship has shown me that you should take the initiative more, especially if your intention is to improve something or help others.

Initially, we thought that Tinkertanker would give us tasks for us to do throughout the whole internship. Instead, we realised that Tinkertanker actually encourages us to just create things that we want, and they expected us to take the initiative. If we have an idea of something, they encouraged us to discuss about it with them in which they are very happy to do so, which is really cool.


* See problems or things you want to do or maybe you want to help
* Ask
* Then do! Everyone happy. Even did this for LaundryWeb
