“The theme and material raised are quite interesting, it’s nice to get new knowledge, especially when Computational Thinking is a pretty important skill in the era of society 5.0. Hopefully in the future this exciting webinar will be held again in the DIMAS-TI series, with other themes that are also interesting to be followed, especially for Mathematics and Natural Sciences students” said Arfiansyah Sucitra (Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia Student) when asked about his impression and message on this event.

“DIMAS-TI 2021 is a competition that can foster a competitive and innovative spirit for students, especially LPTK students who are members of AMLI, this competition can add experience, students’ insight and skills in contributing to technological advancement, especially technology in the field of implementing CT, STEM and education for the advancement of the Nation in facing the era of society 5.0. It is my hope that the DIMAS-TI 2021 competition can be followed by all participants from the LPTK campus who are members of the AMLI who are scattered throughout the archipelago. In order for the competition to be lively and as a means of gathering and social networking between LPTK students who are members of AMLI” said Erlangga, M.T. as the head of the DIMAS-TI 2021 event when asked about the impressions, messages, and hopes of this activity.
