// about/

We're a student association — but we like to think we're a little more than that.

Our mission

Make CS at UGM unmissable.

HIMAKOM exists to be the connective tissue between students, faculty, alumni, and industry. We translate the curriculum into culture — into project teams, study circles, hackathons, and friendships that outlast graduation.

We aspire to be the most generous tech community in Yogyakarta: open about what we know, eager to teach, and serious about sending our members into the world ready to build.

Values

Four words we actually mean.

01

Inclusive

Every student, every background, every interest in tech belongs here.

02

Rigorous

We hold our work to a real standard — because shipping matters.

03

Generous

We mentor up, mentor down, and share what we know freely.

04

Curious

We chase the new — paradigms, languages, and questions worth asking.
