Nutritional problems among elementary school-aged children remain a critical public health issue in Indonesia. A lack of family understanding regarding the importance of balanced nutrition is one of the key contributing factors to the high rates of stunting and malnutrition. This community service activity aims to improve family awareness of children's nutrition through an educational approach tailored to the families’ social, economic, and cultural characteristics. The program was conducted at SD Inpres Laikang, involving 60 families. The methods included identification of family characteristics, focus group discussions (FGDs), interactive lectures, and pre-and post-test evaluations. The results showed an improvement in nutritional understanding among 87% of participants, along with healthier dietary behavior changes at home. This approach adapts the principles of the Harvard Public Health Nutrition Model, which views the family as a systemic unit in shaping children's eating habits. Education based on family characteristics has proven effective and relevant in supporting sustainable nutrition literacy improvement.

This study aims to examine the implementation of digital educational games to enhance the understanding of fraction concepts among fifth-grade elementary school students. The background of this research lies in the low mastery of fraction material and the lack of student engagement due to conventional teaching approaches.

The subjects were divided into an experimental group, which received digital educational game-based learning, and a control group, which was taught using traditional lectures and practice questions. The results showed a significant improvement in the understanding of fractions in the experimental group compared to the control group. The findings indicate that digital educational games can enhance motivation, engagement, and the effectiveness of mathematics learning. This research recommends the integration of interactive digital media as an innovative strategy for teaching mathematics in elementary schools.

Effective household financial management is a crucial pillar for the economic well-being of every family, particularly in the face of an uncertain economy and the challenges of modern life. Women hold a strategic position in improving household management because they have a greater ability to carry out household activities compared to men. The purpose of this activity is to highlight the role of women in enhancing household financial management, thereby supporting the sustainability of their families. This community service method employs a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing data collection techniques that include initial surveys or observations, questionnaires, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and documentation in the form of photos, videos, and notes taken during the activity. The findings of this community service indicate that two activities are carried out: interactive lectures on family financial management and training on managing family finances. The results showed that 11 out of 13 participants had an understanding of family financial management education for Kuta village residents. In contrast, two people did not have a clear understanding of the training and lectures provided. These results indicate that not all RT mothers in Kuta village have the same sense of family financial management. Therefore, in the future, socialization and training in family finances are needed, involving more RT mothers in Desa Kuta.

This community service activity aims to enhance the understanding and capacity of the Village Governments and Village Consultative Bodies (BPD) of Wonreli, Abusur, Lebelau, and Oirata in the process of formulating Village Regulations (Peraturan Desa or Perdes) that are aligned with legal principles and applicable statutory provisions. The socialization was motivated by the generally low level of understanding regarding both the procedures and substance of Perdes formulation, which has led to weak regulatory quality at the village level. The methods employed in this activity included lectures, interactive discussions, and simulations of Perdes drafting, all of which referred to Law Number 12 of 2011 on the Formation of Legislation. The results of the activity indicated a significant increase in legal awareness and participants’ understanding of the importance of legality, participation, and transparency in the village legislative process. This activity also succeeded in encouraging local initiatives to formulate village regulations that are more responsive, accountable, and tailored to the real needs of the local community. Therefore, this socialization made a tangible contribution to strengthening democratic and law-based village governance.

This community service article aims to escalate Gen Z's understanding of sexual violence, which continues to show a concerning trend in case numbers, thereby hindering the nation's aspirations towards a civil society. The cause of the high trend in sexual violence is that victims do not yet understand the content of the TPKS Law; the reporting mechanism and the legal process in court. Considering that the effectiveness of the law cannot be sufficiently realized through adequate content and means (legal substance-legal structure), efforts are needed through the work of other variables, such as community involvement (legal culture), which in this service activity is carried out and participated in by students from SMA Negeri 1 Wangon. The method used in this program is lectures and interactive discussions. The result of this program is a comprehensive understanding of the TPKS Law, which is then followed by building a commitment to combat sexual violence through daily campaigns, both in the form of preventive and repressive actions carried out in social-community environments and on social media. So that the aspiration for the formation of a civil society can be realized.

The world of education has undergone major changes since the advent of technology and the internet. Most students prefer new learning methods brought by technology rather than listening and writing in class which are considered outdated. The presence of technology such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) should be able to overcome the weakness of conventional learning methods and make it more interesting for students. Conventional learning activities in class such as writing and taking notes can be replaced by AI which is designed to perform tasks like humans. Therefore, this study was conducted by developing a system for recording and summarizing lectures using AI technology. The system development process uses the waterfall method as a guide, while the system modeling is created using the UML method. The application of AI technology into conventional learning methods can create a more interactive class by setting aside student's tasks like writing and taking notes, creating more interaction with the lecturer, resulting in a higher quality of education.

The problem of poverty is still a homework that has not been resolved by the government. Various efforts have been made, one of which is through the Family Hope Program (PKH), which is a conditional cash assistance for beneficiaries. It is said to be conditional because recipients must access education and health services using the grant funds received. However, based on information obtained from the companion, it is known that the recipients did not fully use the aid money according to its designation. This happens for various reasons, one of which is minimal income so they have to look for other sources to meet their daily needs. Therefore, this dedication is intended to provide an understanding of how to manage family finances so that whatever income is earned can be sufficient to meet life's needs, not a lifestyle. This dedication method is carried out with lectures, discussions and brainstorming with participants. The result of this service is that participants gain additional knowledge about budget planning, budget control, and distinguishing between needs and wants.
