Hakka Association of South Australia (HakkaSA) is thrilled to announce a significant achievement from one of the participants in the Playford Council's STEMSEL coding club. Under the guidance and mentorship of HAKKASA members Miro Kostecki and John Ikidi (a Nigerian youth leader) student Tara has won a prestigious first prize of $3,000 at the Royal Adelaide Show 2025 ( RAS25) STEM Innovation IoT Coding competition. This success is a shining example of how multicultural community-based programs can empower young people with valuable skills for the future.
Why this Win Matters
Tara's victory showcases the power of STEM education and the dedicated work of the STEMSEL coding club at Playford council. The club, managed by Miro Kostecki and John Ikidi, provides a nurturing environment where students learn to solve real-world problems through coding, Internet of Things, robotics, and electronics. Students are trained to use English to prompt runlinc AI to create codes and hardware documentation in seconds instead of weeks to make STEM projects quickly. The time saved in a hackathon is used to add more features such as World First satellite 🛰️ IoT to win Competitions scholarships and jobs while studying. The runlinc AI fast easy coding unique value proposition provides students a niche platform to create social economic impacts.
This achievement not only celebrates Tara's hard work and talent but also highlights the importance of providing hands-on learning opportunities that bridge the gap between classroom theory and practical application using the new game changing runlinc AI technology.
For HakkaSA, this success story is a testament to our community's potential. We are proud to support initiatives that foster innovation and build a skilled, confident future generation.
