Asep also appreciated the USU Rector for displaying a proud display of his work. “Here we can see part of the exploration of our students' superior resources. Among these works, there will be works that appear to be solutions to societal problems,” he continued.

Chairman of the Jury, Prof. Dr. Ir. Nuni Gofar, shares tips on how to make Student Creative Week (PKM) work. According to him, to develop creativity and generate creative ideas, you have to explore, read, and see the problems around you.

He gave an example of one field, namely Entrepreneurship PKM. “For example, if you want to join PKM Entrepreneurship, it doesn't mean you want to make food and then sell it immediately. In PKM, you have to see what the market needs. Then you make products the market and society needs,” Nuni explained.

The talk show participants are first-semester students and high school students in the city of Medan. They heard about the importance of innovation and achievement through scientific activities such as PIMNAS.(©ULC)
