The advancement of digital technology has driven significant transformation in the field of education, particularly in the innovation of learning media that is interactive and easily accessible to students. The subject of Pancasila and Civic Education (PPKn), as a crucial component of character education, must adapt to these developments to ensure that the material remains relevant and engaging for today’s digital generation. This community service activity aimed to enhance students' learning motivation by conducting a training program on creating educational applications using the no-code platform Thunkable. The focus of the training was on the topic of national political figures, which is part of the core competencies in the PPKn curriculum. The activity was held at SMA Ampera in Sorong City, involving 11th-grade students as active participants. A participatory and project-based learning (PjBL) approach was employed, in which students were guided to design, create, and test their own educational applications based on their ideas and creativity. The program was carried out in three stages: preparation (developing modules, training materials, and technical setup), training and practice (introduction to the Thunkable platform, interface design, and basic programming), and testing and evaluation (application trials by other students and effectiveness assessment). The results of the activity showed a significant increase in students' learning motivation, basic digital skills, and active engagement in the learning process. The participants successfully created educational application prototypes featuring visual content, brief narratives, and interactive quizzes about national political figures. Moreover, students demonstrated collaborative attitudes, innovation, and confidence when presenting their work. This activity demonstrates that a project-based learning approach supported by Thunkable technology can be an effective alternative for creating meaningful, contextual, and empowering learning experiences. It is especially beneficial for schools with limited access to digital technology. By integrating creativity and digital tools into civic education, students are encouraged to become not only technologically literate but also more engaged in understanding national identity and political history in a modern, accessible way.

The purpose of this study was to understand the effect of using Canva-based learning media on the creativity of eleventh-grade students in economics. The background of this study stems from the low level of student learning creativity caused by the minimal use of innovative and engaging media in the learning process. Creativity is an important aspect in economics learning because it encourages students to think critically, create solutions, and understand abstract concepts more contextually. Static and monotonous learning media such as blackboards and textbooks often do not sufficiently stimulate student interest and participation. Therefore, a more interactive and visual approach is needed, one of which is using Canva. Canva is an online graphic design platform that allows teachers and students to easily create presentations, infographics, and other visual materials. Using Canva in learning can provide a more enjoyable learning experience and motivate students to be actively involved. This study used a quantitative method with a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design. Data analysis was carried out by comparing creativity scores before and after treatment. Student creativity was measured using a test instrument that included aspects of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The study subjects were 34 11th-grade students at SMAN 1 Tulungagung. The results showed a significant difference in scores between the pretest and posttest results, indicating that the use of Canva-based learning media had a positive impact on increasing student creativity. Students became more active in expressing ideas, more daring to experiment with concepts, and better able to present learning outcomes visually and attractively. These findings support constructivism theory, which states that effective learning occurs when students actively construct knowledge through meaningful experiences.

The transformation of education in the digital era demands inclusive, creative, and relevant learning innovations in line with technological developments. To address these challenges, utilizing digital platforms is a strategic step in driving the digitalization of education. One innovative solution that is becoming widely used is no-code platforms like Thunkable, which enable users, including students, to create applications without having to master complex programming. This article reviews the results of a community service activity conducted at SMA Negeri 2 Sorong City, focusing on improving digital literacy and strengthening 21st-century skills through training in creating educational applications based on Thunkable. This activity utilized experiential learning and project-based learning approaches, implemented through hands-on training, interactive demonstrations, independent practice, and participatory evaluation. This training not only targeted students as the primary participants but also involved teachers as facilitators who accompanied the learning process and encouraged the application of training outcomes in classroom activities. Evaluation results showed a significant increase in student enthusiasm, critical thinking skills, and creativity in designing simple educational applications tailored to learning needs and local contexts. Despite obstacles such as limited digital devices and uneven internet access, this activity still succeeded in creating an innovative and transformative learning space. Furthermore, this training makes a significant contribution to supporting the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile, particularly in the areas of digital literacy, independence, mutual cooperation, and creativity. It also serves as an effective means to instill the value of digital responsibility and foster a learning culture that is adaptive to technological change. The success of this program demonstrates that a simple yet applicable technology-based approach like Thunkable can be replicated in other schools, particularly in the 3T (disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost) regions, with the support of structured and collaborative training.

The ability to recognize numerical symbols is a crucial aspect of cognitive development that should be stimulated from an early age.
