About the Hero Independence Game

The UNS team, named “Hero Independence,” developed a mobile game to combine education with entertainment. The game tells the story of Indonesia’s journey to independence, including its struggles against colonial powers. The project addresses the lack of historical literacy among children by engagingly presenting history.

“With this approach, our team hopes that children and young people can enjoy a fun game while also learning history. The game focuses on captivating users through exciting gameplay and gradually introducing educational elements as they progress,” Habib explained to uns.ac.id on Tuesday (21/1/2025).

Competition Journey and Mentorship

During the final preparation stage, the team received guidance from Yusuf Fadlila Rachman, S.Kom, M.Kom, a lecturer in the D-3 Informatics Engineering Study Program. His mentorship played a crucial role in refining their project.

Habib expressed his gratitude for the experience gained while preparing for the international-scale competition. He emphasized that the team’s solid collaboration played a vital role in achieving their goals. He also encouraged other students, particularly those from PSDKU, to remain motivated in seeking experiences.

Habib expressed his gratitude for the experience and highlighted the importance of teamwork. “Alhamdulillah, we are very grateful for our success. This experience is not just about winning but also about the learning process and teamwork.”
