Meanwhile, the Head Organizer of the 2025 Hi-Tech, Alvin Deo Ardiansyah, explained that participants were free to choose two different categories, including software and hardware. Software works are in the form of AIs, websites, mobile websites, video games, and desktops. While hardware often entails students’ work in the form of advanced technology like IoT.
