The event with the theme "Elevating Regional Potential in the Middle of a Pandemic" will take place from May 4, 2021 to May 8, 2021, starting from the preliminary round until entering the final round. Although this activity was held online, this did not reduce the enthusiasm of each contestant, especially participants from the Semarang State Polytechnic.
This activity, organized by the UNS Vocational School, is a form of support for the UNS Anniversary. This competition is intended to challenge students to channel their creative and innovative ideas in utilizing technology that can lift the potential of the local area.
This event was attended by more than 30 teams from various schools and universities in Indonesia which were divided into 3 categories of competition, namely: High school/vocational level video content competition, student content video competition, and Student level Web/SI Competition. Team 3 IK-2E Participated in this event as a means to implement learning outcomes at Polines where the material obtained was able to compete at the national level. In the preliminary round, Team IK-2E was able to rank 3 with a score of 78.5 which this result brought the team to advance to the final round with 4 other teams. In the final round, each team is required to present their work in front of the Jury. Team 3 of IK-2E itself made a video content that raised the potential of brick craftsmen in a village in Sragen Regency. The creativity and uniqueness of the work of Team 3 IK-2E is one of their advantages in competing with other teams, so that they are able to bring home the championship title and get coaching money and a certificate of champion.
