Abstract

Renewable energy sources are a solution to fossil energy sources, which are increasingly depleting every day. Renewable energy has various types; however, the most widely used at present is solar energy, commonly referred to as solar power generation (photovoltaic systems). The development of solar power in Indonesia has begun to be implemented in several sectors to support government programs, particularly national energy security. Considering the importance of renewable energy, early socialization and education are needed, especially for junior high school students. Early education is expected to raise students’ awareness of the importance of environmental preservation in maintaining renewable energy resources provided by nature. To make the educational process more engaging, a hands-on practice method was applied. In this community service activity, students assembled solar-powered toy cars so that the cars could operate. This activity aimed to directly involve students in the use of renewable energy and to help them understand how renewable energy can be applied in simple applications. The results show that students were able to complete the assembly of solar-powered toy cars; 48.28% of students rated the activity as very beneficial, 48.28% as beneficial, and 3.45% as moderately beneficial. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the community service activity was successfully implemented.

Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly influencing various aspects of life, including education. However, high school students' understanding of the basic concepts and uses of AI is still relatively limited. Therefore, the AWARE (Awareness of AI) Community Service Activity (PKM) was held at MAN 1 Garut on May 6, 2025. This activity aims to increase students' awareness and initial understanding of the concepts, applications, and potential of AI in supporting the learning process in the digital era. The objective of this activity is to increase students' awareness and understanding of the basic concepts of artificial intelligence (AI), examples of its applications, and the potential and challenges of utilizing AI technology in the context of secondary education. The activity method uses an educational-participatory approach through an introduction to basic AI concepts, presentation of real-world application examples, and simple demonstrations. The activity was complemented by a question-and-answer session and interactive discussion, and was evaluated through a Likert-scale-based satisfaction survey attended by 59 respondents. The evaluation results showed a very positive response from the activity participants. A total of 52.5% of respondents gave a score of 4 for the relevance of the activity topic, while 51.7% of respondents gave a score of 4 for the aspect of the activity's usefulness. In addition, 25.9% of respondents gave the highest score (5), indicating a very good level of satisfaction with the program implementation. In terms of sustainability, 96.4% of respondents expressed their willingness to continue the collaboration in the next activity. All respondents also assessed that the community service activities carried out could be implemented in the partner environment, thus indicating that the PKM AWARE program is relevant, beneficial, and has the potential for sustainable development. In conclusion, this activity successfully achieved its goal of increasing student awareness and understanding of AI and opening up opportunities for further development through learning modules and workshops for teachers.
