A brilliant achievement was achieved by a student from the Informatics Study Program at Bakrie University. Egbert Felica Wibianto won first place in the Lens 180: Short Video Competition, an international competition organized by the IEEE Region 10 Adhoc Committee on Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ACEI).

The competition, titled “Lens 180: Entrepreneurship Spirit Explained in 3 Minutes!”, was aimed at students and young professionals in the Asia-Pacific region (IEEE Region 10). The competition invited over 50 submissions from various countries, with the goal of encouraging entrepreneurial spirit through inspiring and original visual works.

Participants were asked to showcase creative ideas that reflect how entrepreneurship can change lives, drive innovation, and provide solutions to real-world problems in society. From dozens of submissions, only the top three entries were selected to receive awards and be officially showcased on the IEEE Region 10 platform.

Egbert presented a work titled “Code to Survive: A Student’s Web Journey,” a video depicting a student’s journey in developing web technology skills to prepare them for future challenges. This work also received support from Thariq Rahman, a fellow Informatics student, and Baptista Yohana Vallen, a student in the Information Systems study program at Bakrie University.

Thanks to his creativity and originality, Egbert stood out among participants from various countries and was named First Place. The other two winners were Sai Gayathri & Sigaram Sahithi from India, and Muhammad Nawwarudin from Surabaya State University (UNESA), Indonesia.

As the first place winner, Egbert not only received an official award from IEEE Region 10 Asia Pacific but also had the opportunity to showcase his work on the IEEE’s international platform.
