“The Biznet Internet Center aims to facilitate children’s interest and curiosity, as well as encouraging them to not only use technology, but also understand how it works and how to fix it,” KidZania Jakarta president Kerry Riza said during the launch.
“I hope this center will be a place to educate children about internet technology,” said Biznet president director Adi Kusma. “Our collaboration with KidZania is an opportunity to improve people’s awareness from an early age to have more knowledge about the internet.” (kes)
