The number of visiting students was 72 students who were divided into 12 experimental groups. Each group was guided by a competent experimental assistant according to the topic of the experiment. Students were explained the background of the experiment topic and then invited to take measurements, present, analyze data and prepare the final report.
The visit of MAN 1 Surakarta, as well as involving students in the experiment, the Department of Physics, especially the Basic Physics Laboratory as a facilitator, also supports SDGs point 4 (Quality Education) and point 17 (Partnerships to Achieve Goals). This visit not only strengthened the relationship between the Department of Physics and the schools, but also became an opportunity for the Department of Physics to contribute directly to education at the secondary school level and community service.
