Abstract

This community service program was conducted in 2025 with the Taruna Tani Sukamandiri Farmers’ Group in Ciamis Regency to address water scarcity and high fuel dependency in rainfed farming. An automatic solar-powered water pump system was introduced to strengthen energy independence, reduce irrigation costs, and increase the productivity of chili and cucumber crops. The program was implemented through five stages: coordination, technology installation, training, mentoring and evaluation, and ensuring sustainability. Results showed a significant reduction in diesel pump usage, cutting operational costs by IDR 1–1.5 million per season. Irrigation efficiency improved crop yields during the first two harvests, although the third harvest declined due to excessive rainfall. Farmers actively participated in installation, training, and maintenance, while students gained valuable hands-on learning. Academic outputs include a submitted journal article and a draft technical manual being processed for intellectual property rights, making this program a replicable model of sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

Indonesia is in the process of transforming its energy system to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions. This effort aligns with SDGs 7 and the national target of achieving a 23% share of renewable energy shared by 2025. However, low community energy literacy remains a significant obstacle, as seen in Cileles Village, Sumedang, which has considerable but underutilized solar energy potential. This community service program aimed to strengthen energy literacy and awareness of renewable energy by providing education on solar cell technology through a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. This activities included preparation, interactive learning, practical demonstrations using a solar cell model, and evaluation through pre- and post-tests. Implemented in August 2025 with 30 participants, the program successfully increased understanding of clean energy and encouraged interest in renewable energy adoption.

Abstract

The empowerment of the Women Farmers’ Group (Kelompok Wanita Tani/KWT) Karya Tani in Purbalingga Kidul Village was carried out through the implementation of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and marketing digitalization to enhance the production capacity of “Nata Baya” aloe vera candied products. This study employed a participatory action research approach, involving 12 KWT members as research subjects. The interventions consisted of four main activities: (1) training on the use of an aloe vera peeling machine, (2) socialization of quality control practices and food safety standards, (3) training on optimal working posture, and (4) the creation of marketplace accounts along with digital marketing training. The findings revealed a 50% increase in production efficiency, with production capacity rising from 10 kg to 20–22 kg per day. The implementation of GMP improved participants’ understanding of food safety by 25%. The marketing digitalization program successfully enhanced digital marketing skills, with 100% of members able to use Canva and 75% capable of creating promotional posts independently. Furthermore, the rebranding efforts through packaging design transformation received positive responses.

Abstract

This article reports a community service program designed to address persistent constraints in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) microcontroller and IoT practicum, including limited laboratory kits, maintenance costs, and uneven access to hardware that can reduce the frequency and quality of hands-on learning. To support project-based learning and the ongoing digital transformation of electrical engineering education, the program aimed to enhance vocational electrical teachers’ competence in using a web-based simulation platform for ESP32-oriented microcontroller and IoT instruction. A one-day, hands-on workshop was developed using the GOAD (Goal–Objectives–Activities–Deliverables) framework and implemented with twenty teachers from ten vocational high schools. Activities included an introduction to WOKWI, basic C programming, microcontroller and IoT concepts, and contextual case studies such as automatic systems and flood-detection projects. Evaluation data were collected through a 12-item Likert questionnaire covering content, delivery, and practice aspects. Results showed high satisfaction, with average scores of 83.5% for content, 81.75% for delivery, and 79.25% for hands-on practice. The program indicates that WOKWI is a feasible tool to mitigate laboratory constraints and to support scalable, low-cost, and interactive IoT practicum in TVET.

Abstract

Achieving Quality Education (Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, Point 4) remains a significant challenge in rural areas characterized by low digital infrastructure. Specifically, Kutamanah Village in Purwakarta faces critical literacy issues, with its primary school's literacy rate tragically categorized as ‘red,’ compounded by a low regional Quality Education Index score of 46.70. This research aims to address this digital and literacy gap through the systematic development and implementation of KutaBaca, an Offline Digital Library system. Utilizing a Research and Development (R&D) methodology based on the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) model, the system was designed with a local server and an internal wireless network, allowing students and teachers to access a vast collection of e-books and learning modules without relying on an external internet connection. Evaluation focused on rigorous Functional Testing and a System Usability Scale (SUS) assessment involving 30 students and 7 teachers. The results demonstrate a 100% functional success rate and an overall average SUS score of 83.1 ('Excellent'). This confirms that KutaBaca is a reliable, user-friendly, and replicable technological innovation, effectively increasing access to information and serving as a sustainable solution to boost literacy and support SDGs 4, 10, and 17 in low-connectivity regions.

Abstract

Mastering English vocabulary is something mandatory in learning integrated English language skill for EFL learners as this could enhance their English competence and performance. This community service was conducted in a serendipitous way in which it was aimed to apply games in teaching English vocabulary. Thirteen female participants were taken conveniently as the sample during the intervention. One orphanage in Southern region of Sumatera, Palembang was accordingly selected for this activity. To assess the EFL participants’ English vocabulary score, a well-designed English vocabulary test was finely administered before and after game-based intervention. The findings showed that using games gave a significant impact on the EFL learners’ English vocabulary mastery as the result of t obtained value was much higher than the t table (10.645 > 2.179) and the p value gained was much lower than .05 (.000 < .05). Overall, some meaningful implications were made to the near future facilitators, relevant researchers, and other EFL learners to integrate games in English vocabulary learning as this creates a more relaxing atmosphere of learning English words.
