Congratulations to FET Students and Team on Winning Grand Champion at HackMY IoT 2026
Congratulations to Faculty of Engineering and Technology students and team on their outstanding achievement of being crowned Grand Champion at HackMY IoT 2026, held from 19-20 September 2026 at Monash University Malaysia.
HackMY IoT 2026 was a demanding 36-hour Internet of Things (IoT) hackathon, challenging participants to develop and demonstrate fully functional solutions within a limited timeframe.
Competing in Track 1: Smart Agriculture & Environmental Monitoring, the team successfully tackled eight technical challenges involving both hardware and software development. Their solution incorporated system integration, sensor technologies, automation, monitoring systems, and software implementation.
Following their impressive performance, the team was named Track 1 Champion and advanced to the final round, where champions from all three tracks presented their innovations to the Grand Jury for consideration of the overall championship title.
After a highly competitive final presentation, the team was announced as the Grand Champion of HackMY IoT 2026.
The winning team comprised a collaborative group of students from Sunway University and Universiti Malaya:
Koay Yun Sheng - Bachelor of Mechatronic Engineering (Robotics) with Honours, Sunway University
Amberly Teoh Ke Wei - BSc (Hons) in Computer Science, Sunway University
Jas Shan Senggani – Electrical Engineering, Universiti Malaya
Chew Hao Yang – Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Malaya
What makes this achievement particularly remarkable is that the competition required participants not only to propose innovative ideas, but also to develop a working prototype, address real-world challenges, justify technical decisions, and demonstrate practical implementation. These aspects formed key criteria in the judging process.
The hackathon was organised by MyEvolution, La French Tech Malaysia, and the IEM Monash Students Section, with support from Monash University Malaysia and MyIoTA.
This achievement reflects the innovation, technical excellence, teamwork, and perseverance of our students in solving real-world challenges through engineering and technology.
Congratulations once again to the entire team on this remarkable accomplishment. We wish them continued success in their future endeavours.
