Growing Creativity and Entrepreneurial Spirit of Students, Himasiltan IPB Holds Wood Working Class

The Student Association of Forest Product Technology (Himasiltan), Faculty of Forestry and Environment (Fahutan) IPB University held Wood Working Class 2024. This activity was attended by no less than 100 participants from among IPB University students and the general public.

Wood Working Class is an activity in the form of a talk show entitled ‘Uncovering Potential of Forest Product’. The talk show was filled by M Haikal Arrasuli, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Hudri Core.

In addition, workshops were also held on the processing and utilization of wood and non-wood forest products. The wood product manufacturing training was assisted by Hobikayu Greater Bogor and Milan Coating and Adhesives for product finishing.

M Tanzi Aziz Zikri as the chief executive revealed that this activity was expected to hone creativity and foster interest in student entrepreneurship. He hopes that the products produced from this training can inspire the younger generation to carry out entrepreneurial activities in the field of forest products and develop creativity in processing wood and non-wood forest products.

“Through this activity, participants are expected to recognize and understand how to make high-value forest products. The understanding and techniques of making forest products from the Wood Working Class 2024 activities are expected to be applied in the utilization of timber and non-timber forest products,” said Tanzi.

Tanzi revealed that the participants were very enthusiastic about this activity. “This is due to the experience that may have just been felt by a number of participants in making products such as using miter saw tools, as well as finishing products such as sanding, using glue, and using varnish or coating,” he said.
