Abstract

This study presents a community based workshop designed to enhance digital literacy through hands-on learning that combines microcontroller programming and three-dimensional (3D) design. The activity adopted a Do It Yourself (DIY) approach to bridge theoretical understanding and practical skills. Participants, consisting of students and young learners, developed a functional digital clock using an Arduino based microcontroller and designed its custom 3D printed enclosure. A mixed-method evaluation was conducted to assess learning outcomes. Quantitative results from a post activity questionnaire showed a high satisfaction level, with an overall mean score of 3.41, categorized as very high across five learning aspects which are motivation, comprehension, facilitation, relevance, and reflective impact. Qualitative feedback supported these findings, indicating that participants gained confidence, curiosity, and a deeper understanding through direct experimentation and collaborative mentoring. The results confirm that short term, project based workshops can effectively improve digital competence and creative confidence in community settings. Integrating accessible hardware and affordable fabrication tools provides a scalable model for STEM oriented education. The initiative demonstrates how experiential learning can promote innovation, problem solving, and technological empowerment, offering a sustainable framework for future programs in digital literacy and maker based education.

Abstract

This initiative implemented an integrated smart hydroponic–aquaponic system on marginal land in Bakalan Village, Bululawang District, Malang Regency, to support local food diversification and strengthen household food security. Although the village has strong agricultural potential, local production is still dominated by sugarcane, while vegetable needs are largely supplied from outside the village. To address this issue, the program developed a compact cultivation model that combines fish farming and hydroponic planting, supported by an Internet of Things (IoT)-based water quality monitoring system using ESP32 and wireless communication.The monitored parameters included total dissolved solids (TDS), water temperature, pH, turbidity, and humidity, and the collected data were stored in a local server that could be accessed through smartphones connected to the same network. The implementation results showed that the system was able to monitor water quality in real time and detect abnormal sensor readings, which were automatically recorded for further evaluation. Validated measurements indicated relatively stable operating conditions, with water temperature ranging from 26.8 to 27.1°C, pH from 7.1 to 7.7, ambient humidity from 76.8% to 78.7%, and TDS from 620 to 637 ppm. These findings suggest that the implementation of a smart hydroponic–aquaponic system can improve the productive use of marginal land, support more precise cultivation management, and contribute to community-based food security efforts.
