LITTLE EINSTEIN

HUNTER: Have Fun with Research Poster

Little Einstein (LE) is a Community Development Program held by SCORE CIMSA FK UNPAD with the goal to promote and enhance research and scientific literacy knowledge of Indonesian Youth, especially students. Last year, Little Einstein was held with the focus on essays and scientific papers. This year, we decided to shift our focus to Scientific Posters and called it Little Einstein : HUNTER (Have Fun with Research Poster) with Jatinangor high school students as the intended target.

Before the first intervention, we held a technical meeting on November 11th 2022 where we gave information about Little Einstein, specifically about the output, group division of the community participants, and the date of each intervention to the participants in SMAN Jatinangor. On 20th of December 2022, we held the first intervention for Little Einstein : HUNTER in SMAN Jatinangor. It consisted mainly of talk shows with the topics of "Introduction to research" and "How to make scientific posters” that was brought by two speakers who are quite experienced in their own respective field, which is dr. Annisa Dewi Nugrahani and Alizha Rochana Putri, S.Ked respectively. In order to assess the effectiveness of this talk show, we conducted a pretest prior to the talk show and a posttest following the talk show.

This intervention was participated by 22 students from various grades in SMAN Jatinangor, and they are divided into several groups where each group has two facilitators who are volunteers to accompany and guide them along the journey. Participants in this first intervention appear to be really keen to learn more as evidenced by their participation in the Q&A sessions that take place in between the talk shows.

Not only did we hold a talk show, we also did a bonding session at the end of the intervention for the participants and facilitators in the hope that it could strengthen the relationship between them. This is only the first intervention from many more to go. We hope that this introductory intervention would ignite the participants' excitement and benefit them in a way that could bring scientific literacy in Indonesia to a greater extent.
