GEMASTIK, or the National Student Competition in Information and Communication Technology, is a program aimed at enhancing the competencies of Indonesian students, enabling them to act as change agents in advancing ICT and its applications, both during their studies and after graduation. Through GEMASTIK, the ICT competencies of Indonesian students are tested with various case studies in each competition division to produce the most efficient and effective solutions.
GEMASTIK is organized annually by the Indonesian Talent Development Center (BPTI) and the National Achievement Center (Puspresnas) under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. As a competition in the field of ICT, GEMASTIK is highly relevant in encouraging students to produce innovative digital works that offer solutions to national challenges. GEMASTIK provides students with the challenge of broadening their understanding and comprehensive knowledge in the field of information technology in today’s era.
