<![CDATA[The development of information technology and the arts has brought significant changes in education. However, the challenge of the generational gap in adapting to technology, especially for older teachers, remains. To address this challenge, the PKM Umsida team organized an animation design introduction training for teachers and staff at SMK Muhammadiyah 2 Taman, providing easy-to-understand basic animation lessons.This program aligns with the vision of Kampus Merdeka, which emphasizes practice-based learning to prepare graduates for the workforce, especially in the creative industry. The training is expected to enhance teachers' creativity and technological skills, making the learning process more interactive and engaging. Although the participants' enthusiasm was very high, there is still a need for advanced training so that all teachers and staff can continuously develop their animation skills. This is important to ensure that vocational school graduates can meet the demands of the ever-evolving creative industry. It is hoped that with continuous training, teachers can keep innovating in their teaching methods, producing graduates who are better prepared and more adaptive to changes in the workforce. Overall, this training has strengthened the vision and mission of the Kampus Merdeka Program, which emphasizes the importance of practice-based learning in preparing competent human resources in the fields of technology and digital arts. Through this program, it is expected that better synergy will be created between the world of education and industry, as well as facilitating the development of creativity among teachers and students at SMK Muhammadiyah 2 Taman.]]>
