Abstract

Plastic waste remains a serious challenge in urban areas, including in 26 Ilir Sub-district, Palembang City, with significant impacts on both the environment and public health. Innovative efforts are therefore required to reduce waste volume while simultaneously providing economic benefits for residents. This community service program aimed to provide education and skills to the local community through socialization and hands-on practice in producing paving blocks from plastic waste using simple steel molds. The program was implemented in several stages: preparation, socialization, demonstration and practice, mentoring, and evaluation with feedback. The results showed high community participation with cross-generational involvement. Public understanding of the impacts of plastic waste increased significantly, from 52% before the program to 87% after. Participants were also able to independently practice paving block production, including the fabrication of simple steel molds. The paving blocks produced were dense and suitable for use in neighborhood roads. Community feedback indicated that 72% of participants were interested in continuing the program and forming small business groups focused on plastic recycling. Thus, the program successfully enhanced awareness, knowledge, and practical skills in plastic waste management. Beyond improving environmental cleanliness, it also opened new entrepreneurial opportunities that support the concept of a circular economy at the community level.

Abstract

Minimnya pemahaman siswa SMA terhadap bidang teknik mesin menyebabkan kurangnya minat dalam memilih karir di sektor teknikal, padahal kebutuhan industri akan tenaga teknik kompeten terus meningkat. Program pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan literasi teknologi dasar dan menumbuhkan minat karir teknikal siswa SMA melalui pendekatan eksperimen praktis. Pelaksanaan menggunakan metode campuran: ceramah interaktif, demonstrasi konsep, workshop hands-on, dan diskusi kelompok, yang dilaksanakan selama 2 hari dengan 40 peserta. Terjadi peningkatan signifikan pada hasil post-test (rata-rata 76,5) dibanding pre-test (rata-rata 41,2). Sebanyak 85% peserta menyatakan meningkatnya minat terhadap bidang teknik mesin, dan 92% merasa materi relevan dengan kehidupan sehari-hari. Program edukasi teknik mesin berbasis eksperimen praktis efektif meningkatkan pemahaman dan minat siswa SMA, dengan rekomendasi pengembangan modul berkelanjutan dan perluasan ke sekolah lainnya
