The Excitement of Collaboration Between Students of Polibatam and Republic Polytechnic Singapore (Part Two)

POLIBATAM-On 8 March 2023, the “Student Immersion: Polibatam & RP” activity entered its second day. As for the activities carried out, i.e. industrial visits which took place at Nongsa Digital Park (NDP), Apple Academy Developer, and Infinite Frameworks Studio (Infinites). The purpose of this activity itself is for students to be able to see and understand directly the work environment, especially in the field of information technology and animation.

The students were invited to see the employee’s workspace, get to know a number of employees, visit the building area, and were given a detailed explanation of the existing work system. The enthusiasm of the students was shown by the several questions asked and answered clearly by representatives of NDP and Infinites.

‘’To be honest from the beginning, the students have been very welcoming. They helped to make us feel at home and we don’t feel excluded at all. The schedule is also well-organized. For instance, the ice-breaking. The students incorporate interesting games, like jumbled words. So, as we all know, jumbled words are actually currently trending on TikTok. In my opinion, they really did well. I really enjoyed my time learning about the education culture in Batam, and the students were really friendly,’’ said Syaqirah, an RP Singapore student, regarding the Student Immersion program.

’I don’t really have any suggestions for improvement about this Study Immersion program. I’m sure quite content about the whole program; the schedule, etc. Thank you, friends, for welcoming Republic Polytechnic Singapore with open arms. I can’t really express my gratitude and hope we can meet each other soon. Thank you,’’ Syaqirah added at the end of the series of activities.

For students from both institutions, the whole program is very educational, innovative, and fun. Hopefully, Student Immersion programs like this can be held again in the future.
