YOUTH SCIENCE AWARENESS

Youth Science Competitions have increased in number all over Indonesia (organized by government, universities and private companies)

More 2000 scientific papers/abstracts has been submitted every year to LIPI

More 150 Indonesia’s youths were competing as finalists every year(According three big science fairs organized by Indonesia Government)

NATIONAL YOUTH SCIENCE CAMPSelected participants from all over Indonesia (representative of each provinces)Working with Local Government Increase networking, nationalism and local wisdomAs starting poin, being confidence to participate science fair and science competition

CHALLENGES ON SCIENCE FAIR IN INDONESIA 1. The growing number of science fair in Indonesia does not reflects

the higher quality of the events or research proposall

2. Mentoring system by scientists/lecturer as applied in INTEL ISEF have been ecknowledged could increase the quality of research proposal- Prepare Guiidelines for Mentoring- Could be applied widely to teachers at school- ToT for Teachers, Mentor and instructur

3. Increase number of local science fair to stimulate interest

students and teachers from remote areas. 4. Increase category for science project

CHALLENGES ON SCIENCE FAIR IN INDONESIA Five important Issues to be pointed :

1. Government Linkage and Support

2. Role of Media and Private Sectors

3. Integrated Science Activities with Science Fair

4. Post Science Fair Activities

5. Intelectual Property Issues

Establish Strong Linkage amongst related Ministries, LIPI, Universities, Science Fair Coordinator relating to science projects

Strong collaboration with local government

To link science, education, business sectors

Define Target group

Setting standard and priorities

OUR EFFORT AND NEXT STEP AS SCIENCE FAIR COMMITTEE RELATING TO IP

SUMMARY1. To increase science awareness for Indonesia need strong

commitment and linkage amongst the government, research institution and private sectors

2. Science Fair and affiliation with international science fair has many significance contribution in increasing STEM education and science awareness in Indonesia

3. Integrated models in hosting science fair could increase more science awareness

4. Post harvesting talent from science fair could be evaluated and measured for the sucessfull impact and sustainability of the science and education program

5. Fair committee has role for IP education and IP mentoring
