THE CHALLENGES OF YOUTH SCIENCE FAIR IN INDONESIA : FROM BUILDING SCIENCE AWARENESS TO EFFORT IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Nur Tri Aries Suestiningtyas Indonesia Institute of Sciences (LIPI) INDONESIA Intel ISEF 2015 Educator Academy Pittsburg, Pennsylvania

Outline Background Science Awareness in Indonesia Challenges on Youth Sciences fair in Indonesia Some Efforts in Post Harvesting Science Fair in Indonesia and Intellectual Property Issues

CURRENT UPDATE OF INDONESIA Science, research and higher education under one Ministry Growing number on science fair host by private sectors, universities and government institution Government support on teachers incentives and education Potential for establishing a strong STEM Community

NATIONAL YOUTH SCIENCE FAIR NATIONAL SCIENCE YOUTH COMPETITION( LKIR) Hosted by LIPI Outcomes: Scientific Paper Format : Presentation and Exhibition Interview by Judges Mentoring (INTEL rules) Focus on Natural Science, Social and Humanity, Engineering and Informatics science Since 2015 one more category : Earth and Marine Sciences NATIONAL SCIENCE YOUTH OLYMPIAD (OPSI) Hosted by Ministry of Education ( MOE) Outcomes : Scientific paper Interview by judges Mentoring INTEL RULES Mentoring by Teachers Focus : Basic Sciences , Applied and Social Humaniora NATIONAL YOUNG INVENTOR AWARD (NYIA) Focusing on Youth Creativity Producing Innovations and Inventions Mentoring from teachers Exhibition and interview

Alur Pembinaan Ilmiah (1969-2014) OUR ACTIVITIES ON YOUTH SCIENCE AND EDUCATION Alur Pembinaan Ilmiah (1969-2014) Visit to facilities/ laboratories National Youth Science Competition (LKIR) Youth Science Camp International Science Fair Alumni Network 1969 2002 2010 2014 Networking & Capacity Building Support Target : student and Teachers Sorce: BKHH LIPI, 2014

YOUTH SCIENCE AWARENESS Courtesy: LIPI Documents 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) Courtesy: LIPI,2015

National Youth Science Camp XIII 2014, Wakatobi Island Indoor-Outdoor Activities Instructor-led lifelong engagement in STEM Develop an increased awareness and understanding of utilizing S &T Experience of conducting research projects Linking youths, related professions (professional scientists, academicians, government and mass media ) and their interdisciplinary connections).

National Youth Science Camp One –week residential science education program for youths ( 7- 12 grade) and science teachers Indoor-Outdoor Activities Instructor-led long engagement in STEM Develop an increased awareness and understanding of utilizing S &T Experience of conducting research projects Linking youths, related professions (professional scientists, academicians, government and media) Strengthening nationalism for Indonesia young generation

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

CHALLENGES ON SCIENCE FAIR IN INDONESIA 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 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

CHALLENGES ON SCIENCE FAIR IN INDONESIA (1) 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 Grand Design Scence Education Program

WORKING WITH MEDIA CHALLENGES ON SCIENCE FAIR IN INDONESIA (2) More engagement Indonesia’s mass media in supporting of youth science fair, STEM, promoting achievement and science awareness Foster science and education journalist network Making short story on the excellent work of best young scientists on digital media (youtube) and social media Getting awards from international science fair get more media promotion

PRIVATE SECTOR AND INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP CHALLENGES ON SCIENCE FAIR IN INDONESIA (3) PRIVATE SECTOR AND INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP Sponsorships and funding POTENCY Filling the “talent pipeline” Raising scientific literacy. Corporate social responsibility Sponsoring for young scientists in international science participation (2014, LIPI) Need establishing STEM Consortia Academy-Business-Gov

Integrated Events in Science Fair to Increase Science Awareness Judges’ Assessment (Presentation) Mentoring Exhibition Integrated Events - Science Fair - Science Expo - Talkshow - Kids Science Show - Alumnae Workshop - IP Workshop for Teachers - Cultural Night - Science Field Trip

CHALLENGES ON SCIENCE FAIR IN INDONESIA (4) Post-science fairs Scholarship for Youth Science Competition Winners Red Carpet for Youth Science Competition Winners/Alumnae to enter Universities and working as Scientists in research institution Collaboration with Ministry of Education Ministry Research, Science and Higher Education Recommendation Letter from Committee (LIPI) STATE UNIVERSITIES (NATIONAL) INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITIES (T & C APPLIED)

Young Scientists patents CHALLENGES ON SCIENCE FAIR IN INDONESIA (5) Post-science fairs Publish youth findings on research journals Join Alumni Network and Activities Promote the winners and best talent to media, government and private sectors to continue their work and findings Winner have role as motivator/trainers for others in Youth Science activities Intellectual Property Education and Awareness Young Scientists patents Air Condensed Helm, Linus Nara, NYIA (the invention has been mass produced by PT. AVI Helm Iindonesia) Digital Leaves Control Colour (DLCC), Grand Awards at Intel ISEF 2012, Luthfi Nur Fakhri

As a way to increase awareness and number of patent in Indonesia The Importance of IP for Science Project Scientific Depository and Achievement Branding, Bank Data and Publications Appreciation for the invention and findings Commercialization to Industry (potential inventions) Financial Benefit FAIR COMMITTE STUDENTS Society INDUSTRY As a way to increase awareness and number of patent in Indonesia

Scheme of IPR Application IPR Education Substantial Check-In Incubator Technology Registration Collaboration Program with Directorate General of IPR & Ministry of Law Source : Yogaswara, R. Center for Innovation, LIPI 2015

Identifying potential IP with Center for Innovation – Directorat IP IPR PROTECTION SCHEME OUR EFFORT AND NEXT STEP AS SCIENCE FAIR COMMITTEE RELATING TO IP IP Education Identifying potential IP with Center for Innovation – Directorat IP Provide Necessary Document for targeted potential IP Facilitating business/industry at the event Mentoring IP Incubator Technology

SUMMARY To increase science awareness for Indonesia need strong commitment and linkage amongst the government, research institution and private sectors Science Fair and affiliation with international science fair has many significance contribution in increasing STEM education and science awareness in Indonesia Integrated models in hosting science fair could increase more science awareness Post harvesting talent from science fair could be evaluated and measured for the sucessfull impact and sustainability of the science and education program Fair committee has role for IP education and IP mentoring
