Abstract

The transition toward renewable energy requires not only technological advancement but also human capacity to disseminate renewable energy knowledge in educational and community settings. This community service program aimed to prepare prospective trainers to facilitate renewable energy learning at the Community Learning Centre (PKBM) Banyutowo in Klaten Regency, Indonesia, while supporting SDG 7 on affordable and clean energy and SDG 4 on quality education. The program adopted a training-of-trainers community service approach and was implemented from January to April 2026. Its activities included preparation and partner-needs alignment, a workshop titled “Green Energy and Green Building for Sustainable STEM Education” held at Universitas Sebelas Maret on 9 February 2026, a partner-site visit to PKBM Banyutowo, and a follow-up teaching activity on 15 April 2026. A total of 54 students from engineering education programs participated as prospective trainers. The workshop consisted of solar photovoltaic (PV) concept presentation, solar PV trainer kit demonstration, PV system design and wiring practice, Problem-Based Learning (PBL) module development, and evaluation. Feedback data were obtained from 19 valid participant responses using a 13-item Likert-scale questionnaire, representing a 35.2% response rate. The responses were used descriptively to identify trends in participants’ perceptions of the workshop. The results indicate active participant engagement, positive response trends regarding organization and instructional delivery, and the development of preliminary PBL module concepts. Seven workshop alumni later facilitated solar PV learning for PKBM learners using the same trainer kit. These findings suggest that integrating technical training, hands-on experimentation, and PBL-oriented pedagogy provides a relevant foundation for strengthening renewable energy literacy and prospective trainer capacity in community-based education.

Abstract

Organic waste management that relies primarily on disposal to landfills remains a common issue in the cleaning service sector, including at PT Makmur Jaya Sragen. This condition not only increases operational costs but also leads to the loss of potential economic value from organic waste. This community service program aims to implement an Internet of Things (IoT)-based composting system as a practical solution for more measurable, efficient, and sustainable organic waste management. The implementation method includes initial surveys and needs assessment, program socialization, technical training, system installation, as well as mentoring and evaluation. The proposed system utilizes temperature sensors as the primary indicator to monitor the decomposition process, enabling partners to determine composting cycles based on real-time data. The results indicate that the partner is able to independently operate the system, understand composting stages based on temperature data, and reduce dependency on landfill disposal. Furthermore, there is a significant improvement in knowledge and skills related to technology-based waste management, as reflected in questionnaire results with an average score above 4.00 (agree–strongly agree category). The implementation also produces compost that can be utilized as a value-added product. Overall, this program demonstrates that simple IoT-based technology can serve as an effective solution in transforming organic waste management into a more controlled, data-driven, and sustainable system.
