Abstract

This community service project promoted sustainable education for early childhood by integrating family health literacy and STEAM-based learning in Pangkalpinang, Bangka Belitung Islands Province, Indonesia. Recognizing that sustainable development education should begin early, the program aimed to strengthen parents’ understanding of holistic child development, combining health, creativity, and environmental awareness. Inspired by the participatory principles of Participatory Action Research (PAR), the project involved three main stages they are planning, action, and observation to foster collaboration among parents, educators, and health professionals. Held on August 30, 2025, the one-day workshop was attended by 30 mothers from diverse backgrounds. Sessions were led by a doctor as well as a lecture in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of Universitas Bangka Belitung and an early childhood educator, covering children’s health topics, which are nutrition, sleep, and screen time, and STEAM-based hands-on learning using simple household materials. Key activities included the Engineering Building Challenge, where participants, as mothers, built creative projects, and the STEAM Fair, where students from the Wonderchild STEAM class performed their STEAM projects and experiments, that presented in English. The program ran effectively and encouraged active participation, collaboration, and enthusiasm among parents. Observations showed strong interest in integrating STEAM and health principles into family routines. This initiative highlights the importance of community-based education programs in Bangka Belitung and encourages future expansion to include teachers, localized STEAM modules, and sustained collaboration among educators, parents, and health experts.

Abstract

Porang tubers (Amorphophallus sp.) are a food commodity rich in glucomannan but also contain antinutritional compounds such as calcium oxalate. This study aimed to determine the effect of adding Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast on improving the quality of porang flour and its ability to reduce calcium oxalate content. The research method used was fermentation with the addition of various concentrations of S. cerevisiae. The treatments applied were soaking with 10% S. cerevisiae, 20% S. cerevisiae, and a control treatment without yeast (0%). Parameters observed during the fermentation process included pH, total acidity, and total population in the porang soaking water. Meanwhile, yield, calcium oxalate, glucomannan, starch, moisture, ash, and color were analyzed to assess porang flour quality. The results showed that pH decreased and total acidity increased with the length of fermentation up to 72 hours. Yeast increased at 10% and 20% S. cerevisiae concentrations until 48 hours and decreased at 72 hours, whereas in the control treatment, population of yeast decreased up to 48 hours and increased at 72 hours. The study indicated that fermentation with S. cerevisiae effectively reduced calcium oxalate content and improved porang flour quality. The lowest calcium oxalate content was found in the 10% S. cerevisiae treatment, while the highest glucomannan content was observed in the 20% treatment. Porang flour treated with 20% S. cerevisiae showed lower moisture and ash content, while flour from the 10% treatment had higher starch content and a brighter color. Based on various test parameters, the porang flour produced in this study complied good quality standards.
