STEP 3 - Engaging Support from the Learning Community

Collecting Data and Reporting Findings or Researching and Seeking Information

To answer all of our questions we collected in Step 1, we invited some experts in energy through a virtual interview. They are Bapak Koes Prakoso (from PLTA) and Pak Ferri & Pak Wira (from PLN). They gain many new insights about the things they are curious about, the experiment, and something they are possibly do during this pandemic situation.
