Indonesian Students Win Three Titles at Taiwan International Science Fair 2025

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Three Indonesian student teams achieved success at the 2025 Taiwan International Science Fair (TISF). They won first place in the Social and Behavioral Science category, second place in the Biochemistry category, and fourth place in the Medicine and Health Science category.

Secretary General of the Indonesian Young Scientist Association Prita Elriza said that before visiting Taiwan, the students underwent a selection process by submitting a research proposal. “After being selected and flying to Taiwan, the students still had to compete with other participants from 28 countries,” said Prita on Sunday, January 26, 2025, quoted from an official statement.

First place in the Social and Behavioral Science category was won by Matahati Sabri, Maleeka Aqiila Januar, and Jannaisya Aufilia. They conducted a study entitled “Developing a Heart Rate Monitoring App to Help Families Identify Mood Changes for Children Diagnosed with Neurodivergence”.

Matahati Sabri said that the form of this research is in the form of an application. Later, this application will be connected to a smartwatch to monitor mood changes in children. “Hopefully this application can help families understand the mood changes of their neurodivergent children, such as in autistic children,” said Matahati.

Meanwhile, the 2nd place winner in the Biochemistry category was won by Zivia Hanna Patty and Alexandrine Patricia. They conducted a study entitled “Exploring the Potential of Pachyrhizus Erosus-Derived Calcium as an Affordable Nutritional Solution for Lactose Intolerance”.

Finally, the 4th place winner in the Medicine and Health Science field was won by Marsha Leman and Sofia Fazelle. The research of these Indonesian students was entitled “Utilizing Flavonoids from the Invasive Species Pilea Melastomoides and Daucus Carota as Well as the Protein PTK-2 to Create a Skin Gel Aimed for Burn Wound Healing”.

These seven outstanding students came from Mentari Intercultural School Jakarta. Meanwhile, TISF 2025 will be held on January 20-25, 2025 at the National Taiwan Science Education Center, Taipei City, Taiwan. Apart from Indonesia, participants of this event came from the United States, Switzerland, Italy and Canada.
