Starting a business among students is an interesting and rewarding challenge. The "How to Become An Entrepreneur" seminar at SMK Petra Surabaya on April 23 2024 is a clear example of how entrepreneurship education can inspire students to take their first steps in the business world.

The event began with remarks from Mam Yanti, a representative from the ISTTS campus, who underlined the importance of creativity and entrepreneurial spirit in today's digital era. Simultaneously with him, Kelvin, ST, MM, an Industrial Engineering lecturer from the STTS Institute, provided inspiring material on how to become a successful entrepreneur. Mr. Kelvin discusses the 5 main characteristics of an entrepreneur, the basic concepts of a business, and strategies for starting an online business. Seminar participants, consisting of 250 students from six different classes, looked enthusiastic and interested in every explanation and tip given. The fact that there were five students who asked about how to start a business shows the students' great interest in entering the world of entrepreneurship.

Mr. Kelvin, as the material presenter, presented the topic "How to Become An Entrepreneur" very inspiringly. In his material, he discusses the 5 main characteristics of a successful entrepreneur, the basic concepts of a business, and strategies for starting an online business. The students looked enthusiastic in listening to every explanation and tip given. This was proven by 5 children who asked about how to start a business.

After the material delivery session, the event continued with a practical workshop which lasted for 45 minutes. Students are invited to make simple pins but have high economic value.

By delivering this material, it not only provides theoretical knowledge, but also encourages students to think critically, innovate, and dare to take steps as an entrepreneur.

They realize the importance of having an entrepreneurial spirit amidst increasingly fierce global competition. Each student has the opportunity to create an attractive pin design using the pins prepared by ISTTS.
