<![CDATA[The development of information technology has made gadgets an inseparable part of the lives of young people, including santri living in Islamic boarding schools. At Al-Ma'un Muhammadiyah Baringin Islamic Boarding School, Jorong Baringin, Nagari Baringin, Palembayan District, Agam Regency, it was found that some santri still used gadgets without clear time limits and tended to access less educational content. This condition encouraged a community service program on preventing gadget misuse, aimed at building santri's awareness to use gadgets productively and responsibly. The activity was carried out on 12 June 2026, involving 20 santri through a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach covering preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. The educational materials focused on four aspects: using gadgets to gain knowledge, managing gadget usage time, using gadgets wisely, and avoiding negative content. Pre-test and post-test results showed that the santri's average understanding increased from 65% to 88%. The activity also produced educational media in the form of leaflets and posters handed over to the boarding school for continued use. This program is expected to help build healthy gadget-use habits within the pesantren environment.]]>
