All Junior High Schools in West Java are already providing science lesson for the students, but there has not been an event for them to develop their science skill.

So, the students have to present the design of their balloon in front of the 3 judges and at last they have to fly their design prototype to test their air balloon design. The winner of Science Project is also MTs Asih Putera.
