With the theme “Create the Future,” over 64,000 young creators from across the country turned empty Indomie cartons, wrappers , seasoning wrappers or all into innovative works of art. Every participant at the final stage went home with a carton of Indomie, full from plates of garnished Indomie noodles , and thrilled after student–teacher dance-offs and fun activities.
The entries were nothing short of amazing, from a life-sized robot named Indobot, to a tractor, solar-powered chalet huts, a mosaic painting, a flower bouquet made from wrappers, a ship built with intricate carton cuts, and many more.
