UBSI Informatics students showcase AI innovations at IT Bootcamp

A total of 101 Informatics students from Universitas Bina Sarana Informatika (UBSI) showcased their innovative Artificial Intelligence (AI) projects at the recent IT Bootcamp Batch 2. Held on June 3-4, 2026, at Hotel Asyana Sentul in Bogor, the event themed 'Digital Transformation, Artificial Intelligence for Future Solutions' provided a platform for students to develop AI-based application prototypes designed to meet various community needs.

The participants, hailing from multiple UBSI campuses including Kalimalang, Jatiwaringin, Slipi, and Ciledug, were organized into 22 teams. Over the two-day bootcamp, they received guidance from faculty members and resource persons Eka Kusuma Pratama and Waeisul Bismi, honing their skills in applying AI technology to create practical digital solutions. The culmination of the event was a project presentation session where the 22 teams presented their developed applications to a panel of judges.

After a rigorous assessment process, the team from UBSI's Jatiwaringin campus secured first place with their innovative skin disease detection application. The second and third prizes were awarded to teams from the UBSI Slipi campus for their applications on school uniform detection using YOLOv8 and food detection with calorie estimation, respectively. The faculty and organizing committee lauded the winners' achievements, particularly recognizing the skin disease detection app for its significant potential benefit to the healthcare sector.

Sumanto, Head of the Informatics Study Program at UBSI, noted the substantial improvement in the quality of student innovations compared to previous periods. "The award ceremony is not just a form of appreciation, but also an indicator that students are capable of implementing the competencies of designing and building AI-based mini-projects in a real and measurable way," Sumanto stated. He added that the faculty will provide further mentorship for the best projects, aiming for publication in scientific journals, copyright protection, and preparation for national technology competitions. UBSI, as a Creative Digital Campus, is committed to making this competitive bootcamp an annual event to foster AI understanding and application among its students.
