The stages in this service activity refer to the CBR stages and are guided by the RRA technique. The activity partners are RA teachers in DAU District, but for the pilloting project, the assistance is carried out on 21 representative teachers from all RAs in DAU District.

Meanwhile, the results of the final survey showed an increase in understanding, especially related to the technical understanding of PjBL in terms of utilizing the surrounding environment to save the cost of toys.
