The experience of participating in competitions or contests is beneficial for testing your sincerity and fighting spirit, and honing strategies in preparation. In addition, participating in competitions can foster a spirit of sportsmanship, that winning or losing is normal, there are factors beyond our control so our job is to try our best. Congratulations to Kemakom” – said Dr. Rani Megasari, M.T. as Chair of the Computer Science Study Program.
