The team was guided by Fat’hah Noor Prawita, ST, MT, developing the application “Nhernak”, an application marketplace as a tool for ornamental sheep farmers to determine prices selling accordingly.
Some of the preparations carried out by the two team included searching valid data from the Department of Environment and Forestry, consulting with seniors who had won similar events, and brainstorming to get more mature ideas.
In this competition, students are required to find Information Technology (IT) solutions to solve business problems in the field of waste and environment. Each team will make a Canvas Model Business, Proposal and Presentation before the judges.
