<![CDATA[The implementation of appropriate technology is one of the community empowerment strategies to improve public knowledge and skills in addressing environmental issues. This community service program aimed to implement a Rocket Stove as an appropriate technology through socialization, practical demonstrations, and the handover of the stove to the village government in Talang Marap Village. The program employed the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach, which included community needs identification, Rocket Stove construction, socialization, demonstrations, and activity evaluation. The results showed that one unit of the Rocket Stove was successfully constructed and functioned effectively as an educational tool for introducing appropriate technology. The participants actively engaged in the activities and gained a better understanding of the functions, operation, and benefits of the Rocket Stove. Furthermore, the handover of the stove to the village government is expected to support the sustainable utilization of appropriate technology within the community. Overall, this program enhanced community knowledge and strengthened collaboration among the university, the village government, and the local community in promoting appropriate technology. ]]>
