National Institute of Education (NIE) Freshmen Orientation Programme

Welcome to Mario Kartora: The Starforge Challenge — a high-energy, game-inspired orientation where competition meets camaraderie, and every choice shapes your journey. 

Get sorted into one of four Houses — Eos, Rhea, Orion, or Helios — and dive into an action-packed experience filled with exciting mass games, creative challenges, and strategic gameplay. Throughout the programme, your House will earn Coins by completing missions and overcoming obstacles together. These Coins can be exchanged for race items and power-ups, giving your team the edge to outplay rivals and shift the game in your favour.

Every move counts - will you play it safe or take the risk? The journey builds up to an electrifying final race, where your House Kart takes on a dynamic track shaped by your collective choices.

But beyond the adrenaline, this is where it all begins. You’ll bond with your House, meet new friends, and create memories that will define your NIE experience. Whether you’re competitive, chill, or just here to try something new — there’s a place for you in this orientation.

Gear up, join a House, and get ready for an unforgettable start to your NIE journey. Sign up now - your race begins here.
