Abstract

The awareness campaign on the impact of mercury use among artisanal miners in Buladu Village, East Sumalata District, North Gorontalo Regency, aimed to enhance knowledge about the dangers of mercury and introduce safer alternative mining methods. The event saw enthusiastic participation from 75 attendees, including miners, their families, and community representatives. The activities included pre-tests and post-tests, which showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge, with average scores rising from 45% to 85%. Interactive discussions and practical workshops revealed a high interest in understanding and adopting mercury-free mining methods. While some participants did not fully grasp the material, the majority rated the relevance of the information and the quality of the speakers as very good. Overall satisfaction was high, with 85% of participants feeling satisfied or very satisfied, and 80% expressing interest in further training. The survey also indicated a need for additional support, such as training, technical assistance, and ongoing education. Regular monitoring and the formation of working groups or cooperatives among miners are recommended to facilitate the implementation of alternative technologies and knowledge sharing. With appropriate follow-up actions, this initiative is expected to have a sustainable positive impact on the health and well-being of miners and the environmental preservation in Buladu Village.

Abstract

This community service discusses the importance of introducing science and technology to students at primary school age. The age range of primary school students is between seven and twelve years old, where children's development is continuous. During this time, students begin to recognise new objects around them and explore the world with natural curiosity. Children's talents develop in various aspects, including religious and moral beliefs, physical-motor, cognitive, verbal, social-emotional, and artistic abilities. the sample in this community service is elementary school students of Molotabu Village.  The survey results showed that as many as 78% of primary school students were able to identify the pictures that constitute science and technology, demonstrating their understanding of these basic concepts. Next, students are engaged in simple experiments using materials that are easily found around them. These experiments aim to give students hands-on experience in testing their hypotheses or ideas about how things work. In the simple experiment, about 60% of the students managed to carry it out well.
