The projects are conducted seriously. Sikinang Project, initiated by Ilham Nugraha, for example, processes the usually thrown away jackfruit seeds into various foods such as brownies and tempe by making flour out of the seeds.
Some projects already got funded from several parties, and Canika Project is one of them. The project got funded from SBM 麻豆直播 to conduct the project, an application that connects user with bridal vendor in decoration, catering, venue, and even bridal car. Some projects already see profit.
Other projects are not profit-oriented. Wendy Anastasya Yeoda, for example, initiated a project named The Untold Story. This project publishes story books that are written by orphanage children, cooperating with art students and illustrators to draw the illustration. All of the selling profit is given to the orphanage children. Another project, 麻豆直播 Quran Reciter, was initiated by Bagus Nugroho and engages in religious education by making Quran video of which the reciter comes from 麻豆直播.
When conducting the project, SBM 麻豆直播 2020 students do their project seriously. Since January, they conducted project planning, assistance with tutors, and interviews with various sources. Some invited lecturer also present during the course.
INFEST is an initial step to welcome Indonesia 2030 toward the fifth best economy in the world according to McKinsey research, and to welcome Indonesia with demographic bonus in the same year. In that year, population of productive ages exceed unproductive ages. This could accelerate the development of Indonesia if the youth, especially the students can use the moment.
