Bringing Chemistry Learning Innovation to the International Level, UIN Sunan Kalijaga Students Win Silver Award

A student team from the Chemistry Education Undergraduate Study Program of UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta successfully won a Silver Award at the international event FACS Future Scientist Program 2026 (Science Projects in Schools Showcase and Undergraduate Research Presentation) held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on October 12, 2026. The team consisted of Asep Saepur Rohman, Fahrizal Gibran Saputra, Dewaya Ananda Putra, and Aqsha Falaqbee Nindar Kusworo. The award was achieved through research entitled "Development of a Marker-Based Augmented Reality Application for Chemical Reaction Material" under the guidance of Mrs. Paed. Asih Widi Wisudawati, M.Pd.

This research focuses on the development of chemistry learning media based on Marker-Based Augmented Reality to present visualizations of chemical reaction materials more interactively. The utilization of Augmented Reality technology is expected to help students explore chemical concepts through a more visual and engaging learning experience.

This achievement serves as a valuable academic experience for all team members, while also opening opportunities to broaden horizons and develop innovations in the field of chemistry education. This award also serves as motivation to continuously produce research works that integrate technological developments with learning needs.
