With the visit of SMA 1 Genteng Banyuwangi, the Department of Physics as one of the departments in FMIPA UGM also supports SDGs point 4 (Quality Education) and point 17 (Partnership to Achieve Goals). This visit not only strengthens the relationship between the Department of Physics and schools, but also becomes an opportunity for the Department of Physics to contribute directly to education at the secondary school level and community service.
