<![CDATA[The Fourth Industrial Revolution and Society 5.0 require teachers to master digital skills, particularly coding and artificial intelligence (AI), as part of contemporary pedagogical competence. SMK Negeri 5 Lhokseumawe, as the community partner, faced limited teacher understanding of basic coding and AI concepts and had not optimally integrated these technologies into classroom instruction. This community service program aimed to strengthen teachers' digital competence through coding and AI training conducted by a team from Politeknik Negeri Lhokseumawe. The method comprised needs identification, theoretical instruction, hands-on practice, and evaluation using a pretest-posttest design. The three-day program (12-14 May 2026) involved 22 teachers from various subjects. Results showed participants' mean score increased from 65.45 (pretest) to 84.77 (posttest), a gain of 19.32 points (29.53%), confirmed statistically significant by a paired-sample t-test (t = 14.28; df = 21; p < .001). On the practical aspect, the mean score of the learning products produced by participants reached 86.50 (very good category). Participant satisfaction toward the training averaged 4.68 out of 5 (very satisfied). This program is expected to foster a sustainable culture of technology-based learning innovation within the partner school.]]>
