To honor graduates, SBM hosted an online celebration with Virtual Reality (VR) and avatar prepared by the Laboratory of Educational Games (LEG) SBM ITB. “We currently develop this technology towards education 4.0 and ecosystem-based learning initiated by the School. This technology also allows students to do virtual interaction in classes designed similar as in real,” said the Head of LEG, Dr. Nurbudi Mulyono (14/11/2020).
The VR technology showed the avatars of award-winning graduates approaching the stage to receive award given by the Dean also presented in avatar.

The world needs you and your innovative solutions will help us to get through this difficult time,” said the Dean Prof. Utomo Sarjono Putro in his opening.
To give an inspiring speech, the Co-Founder of Fabelio, Marshall Tegar Utoyo said,” The lives of one person to another are different. Do not compare yourself to others. Put happiness above all and enjoy the process. Cheers to all graduates of 2020,” said the alumnae of SBM 2008.
