LEARNING AND STUDENTS

SDG 4

The Bikin.In marketplace is designed to provide opportunities for Visual Communication Design (VCD) students at Universitas Negeri Malang (UM) to sell assets and services based on their academic projects. By facilitating the sale of practical projects that previously served only as portfolios, this platform aims to enhance the learning experience of VCD students and support the sustainability of quality education.

Bikin.In serves as an innovative solution tailored to meet the needs of UM VCD students in productively utilizing their academic work. Many practical assignments often end up as personal portfolios or digital archives without further purpose. Bikin.In addresses this by opening up opportunities for students to sell their assets and services to a broader market.

In line with the focus on quality education, Bikin.In encourages students to gain real project experience and earn additional income. This not only strengthens their economic standing but also allows them to deepen the skills required in the professional world. With effective UI and UX design, this application ensures easy navigation and enhances professional interactions between sellers and buyers.

Bikin.In also offers students the chance to engage directly in the creative ecosystem, indirectly honing their technical skills, market understanding, and confidence. Thus, Bikin.In not only supports the development of appealing portfolios but also contributes to students’ personal growth, creating a more holistic, relevant, and sustainable learning experience. In the digital era, this marketplace has great potential to expand access to valuable practical education, aligning with the goal of fostering inclusive and sustainable education.
