Not only seminars, workshops and competitions, but the thesis exhibition of the work of President University students is also one of the interesting activities in this year's COMPSPHERE. Among the 35 works on display, there were several thesis works that received special attention from the participants, including a computer-based fighting game in which all the characters and weapons nuanced Indonesian culture, named Adventure of Indonesia. There was also The Scrooge, a battle game between knights and zombies which is an adaptation of a board game of a similar name and an application called Sintesis that can be used by a company to collect data from all company-related tweets. Not only looking around, participants can also directly try to use or play thesis products of this student's work.
Sean Jeremy Partogi, Informatics Engineering student class of 2018 as chairman of the 2019 COMPSPHERE committee revealed, "I hope that COMPSPHERE participants can get to know Digital Science and Design through the workshops and seminars that we hold. And also, through the thesis exhibition, we hope that the visitors who are also university students could get inspired to working on their thesis later on.” (SL/APW)
