Greycademy

Greycademy 2026

The completed January-February 2026 A.YCEP × Greycademy cybersecurity bootcamp and CTF program in Singapore, run by NUS Greyhats in collaboration with the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore's Advanced Youth Cyber Exploration Programme. Official announcements give the January 24-25 workshops, January 26-30 practice, and January 31 / February 7 qualifier-and-final schedule and say participants could take home electronic badges; the organizer's post confirms the program was held. A primary maker page documents a deployed Hackbadge created for Greycademy, while recipient allocation, final unit configuration, official hardware ownership, source release, and media rights remain bounded.

Greycademy 2026 Hackbadge

Hackin7's public project page identifies a deployed electronic PCB Hackbadge created for Greycademy 2026. NUS Greyhats' official announcement says program participants could take home electronic badges, while the primary maker record identifies a CH32V003 coin-cell design and reports an event-day power-reliability repair across more than 200 programmed units. The public trail does not define every recipient, final firmware image, or all-unit configuration.

microcontroller and power

CH32V003 coin-cell badge core

The primary maker account identifies a CH32V003 controller and coin-cell power for the Greycademy Hackbadge. It does not identify the exact cell type, power circuit, components, display, input/output surface, connector, pinout, safety validation, or final-unit configuration.

Greycademy 2026 Hackbadge maker-reported completed repair; full scope unverified

production and firmware lifecycle

Post-deployment power reliability repair

The maker reports an early coin-cell brownout issue and says more than 200 already programmed badges were reprogrammed before distribution to improve battery life. This records a bounded field-repair history, not a released firmware, recipe, full validation result, or proof of universal final-unit parity.

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

coin-cell brownout and field-repair history · first-person maker account · maker-reported repair applied; affected scope and final validation unverified

The maker reports that the original coin-cell setup could brown out after roughly two minutes, then says more than 200 already programmed badges were reprogrammed before distribution and informally appeared to have substantially improved battery life. The source does not provide a controlled test, exact firmware change, affected-unit count, serial/revision mapping, battery characterization, follow-up failure rate, or confirmation that every distributed unit received the repair.

The record keeps an attributable production/reliability history visible without offering repair instructions, declaring the hardware safe, or generalizing a maker observation into a verified universal outcome.

hardware, firmware, and final-unit archive gap · current public source pass · high-level maker record only

The public trail identifies a CH32V003, coin-cell basis, maker artwork, and Howard Ong PCB design, but no schematic, PCB file, bill of materials, part list, board revision, firmware repository, binary, source license, build/provisioning path, release, final configuration, manufacturing record, or all-unit parity evidence was recovered.

The badge record remains limited to the organizer wording and maker's high-level factual account rather than inventing technical details or treating a repaired field unit as a fully published hardware release.

missing rights-cleared image · local project policy · needs licensed original replacement

No Greycademy 2026 Hackbadge image is published because the current public source trail has not been paired with a reusable original badge or artifact photo or official upstream raster render with source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.

The Singapore record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.

participant allocation and credential boundary · official organizer announcement and maker record · electronic-badge takeaway documented; individual allocation unverified

NUS Greyhats' official announcement says participants could take home electronic badges, and the maker says the Hackbadge was intended for Greycademy participants. Neither source publishes a recipient list, ticket/registration mapping, quantity, pickup record, allocation rule, official credential role, access-control function, or delivery ledger for this specific badge.

The catalogue documents a real event-specific electronic artifact without presenting it as a universal attendee entitlement, admission credential, official hardware release, or completed allocation account.

source-license and media-provenance boundary · source and image-policy review · no public source-release or reusable media basis recovered

The organizer and maker pages document the event and artifact but do not provide a public source-code/hardware licence or a selected factual badge image with reusable licence or explicit permission basis, attribution, source URL, and processing provenance. LinkedIn, Telegram, and project-page media remain evidence only.

The entry is source-backed and image-free rather than copying social-media images, maker-project visuals, event media, screenshots, placeholders, or generated approximations.
