The Student Creativity Program (PKM) itself is a forum formed by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology - Republic of Indonesia in facilitating the potential of Indonesian students to study, develop, and apply the science and technology they have learned in lectures to the wider community. This program is the successor of the Student Alternative Work Program which was formed in 1997, which was later changed to the Student Creativity Program in 2001 in order to broaden the scope and reduce the limits for students to be creative. Initially, PKM had five sub-programs, namely PKM-Research (PKMP), PKM-Applying Technology (PKM-T), PKM-Entrepreneurship (PKM-K), PKM-Community Service (PKM-M) and PKM-Writing. Scientific Articles (PKM-I). Finalists from each PKM will be contested in the National Scientific Week.
