The OSIM (Intra-Madrasah Student Organization) Advisor of MAN 1 Muaro Jambi, Nur Rohman Gesang Subagio, S.Pd., revealed that this series of events was designed directly by the OSIM management. Through careful coordination, they chose types of games that are not only entertaining but also foster teamwork.
