world in the 2022 Singapore Math Competition.
Not only having achievements in the fields of mathematics and
science, Mischka and Devon often run their social programs and
share their knowledge and knowledge with other Indonesian
children.
In their "Road to School" to East Java last week, Mischka and
Devon introduced the Strengthening Pancasila Profile Literacy
program by visiting several cities in East Java and meeting
thousands of elementary and junior high school
students.During the visit, Mischka and Devon invited students
to learn and share together about the role of Pancasila
Students in building the nation.They also re-introduced the six
six characters of the Pancasila Student Profile which consist of:
noble character, global diversity, independence, mutual
cooperation, critical thinking, and creative.
"Achievement can not only be obtained from mathematics or
science, but many fields of study and other non-academic
talents that can be developed," said Devon.
"Our hope is that the younger generation of Indonesia can be
more advanced, more daring to be creative, develop their
talents and abilities, because later we are the young generation
of Indonesia who will be responsible for the progress of our
country," said Mischka.
Devon added, "in an advanced era, which of course will be
more advanced, we must not only follow the developments
around us, but we must also be able to become pioneers for
the development of our country, and also become pioneers for
other countries."
"Because from one student, we can invite and mobilize 10
other students. From 10 students who are moved, we can
mobilize 1,000 other students. And from 1,000 students who
are moved, we can mobilize 1 million students later to continue
to be enthusiastic about learning and building our country's
progress," concluded Devon and Mischka.
