“Engineering for Teenagers 2024”
Saturday, July 20th 2024, Nadya Ayu Anindita, ST as a Geotechnical Engineer from PT Geoforce Indonesia was one of the speakers at the 2024 Engineering for Teenagers event held by Tripatra.
Tripatra, in collaboration with various parties, organizes an innovative program known as Engineering for Teenagers in the Jabodetabek area, especially aimed at junior high school/equivalent students. This program is designed to introduce and expand their understanding of the world of engineering in a creative and fun way. Participants are not only invited to learn theory, but are also directly involved in simple practices of applied science, which helps increase their interest in this field.
One of the main aspects of this program is introducing participants to the engineering profession and how their role influences everyday life. Through a fun and inspiring learning experience, participants can see firsthand how engineering knowledge can be applied in real situations to solve problems around them, including challenges related to climate change and renewable energy.
Apart from that, this program also seeks to break gender stereotypes in the engineering profession by showing participants that engineering is a field that is open to anyone, regardless of gender. Thus, they are encouraged to explore their interests without social or gender restrictions.
In this program, participants not only gain technical knowledge and skills, but also gain valuable lessons about teamwork, problem solving, and creativity. It is hoped that this experience will give them a solid foundation to explore more deeply the world of engineering and perhaps encourage some of them to pursue careers in this field in the future.
