<![CDATA[Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) literacy in Indonesia's 3T (underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost) regions, particularly in South Central Timor (TTS) Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province, faces significant challenges. This study addresses these issues at a partner school, SMP Negeri 1 Amanuban Barat in TTS Regency. Initial observations and interviews revealed critical barriers, including limited educational infrastructure, inadequate laboratory facilities, and a lack of stable internet access, which collectively hinder effective STEAM learning. Furthermore, the region suffers from a shortage of qualified educators specialized in STEAM disciplines, coupled with uneven teacher training and a scarcity of relevant learning materials, such as textbooks and pedagogical props. This community service program aimed to enhance the competency of lower secondary school teachers in 3T regions within the STEAM fields through the development and training of computational methods. The implemented solutions comprised the procurement of STEAM-focused computational applications, training workshops on intelligent computational applications in STEAM, and the development of instructional modules dedicated to computational application learning in STEAM fields. This community service program was implemented in three systematic phases: preparation (needs analysis), execution (lectures, demonstrations, and one-on-one mentoring), and evaluation (pre-test and post-test). The evaluation results indicated a significant improvement in teachers' STEAM skills.]]>
