The Student Creativity Program (PKM) is an activity designed to enrich the quality of individuals studying (students) in higher education institutions, with the aim of shaping them into contributors to society with academic and/or professional expertise. These expertise include the ability to implement, expand, and distribute scientific, technological, and/or artistic knowledge, as well as to enrich the national cultural heritage. Students are required to be able to contribute to the development of science and provide creative and constructive thinking to help realize the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, one of which is through PKM held by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. This program is expected to be a platform for students to become innovative Agents of Change based on mastery of science and technology and faith in God Almighty.
This program supports SDGs 4 (Quality Education) because PKM plays a crucial role in achieving the set educational goals. PKM functions as a medium that facilitates students to expand and apply their knowledge and skills in a practical and realistic environment. Within the framework of the Independent Learning – Independent Campus (MBKM) Policy, launched by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbud-Ristek), PKM is identified as a platform that provides opportunities for students to choose and explore various disciplines according to their interests, which will ultimately benefit the nation and society.
