MSIB (Certified Independent Study and Internship) is one of the activity programs at the Merdeka Campus which aims to help students improve their skills and develop themselves. MSIB appointed Orbit Future Academy as one of the partners in the Independent Study program. Founded in 2016 with the aim of improving the quality of life through innovation, education and skills training. In accordance with its mission, namely "We curate and localize international programs and courses for upskilling, re-skilling youth, and the workforce towards jobs of the future". Partners provide opportunities for students to take Artificial Intelligence programs and study online. Learning consists of eight material courses including Python Programming, AI Technology Logic and Concepts, AI Project Cycle, AI Research Methods, ChatGPT, Professional and Company Ethics, Financial Literacy and ending with a Final Project. The final project scope carried out is the Occupancy Detection in Parking Lot project. This project uses the Computer Vision domain with the selection of the YOLO model in detecting objects and pixel segmentation. The project begins with selecting a dataset using roboflow which then goes through data pre-processing for cloning, annotation and augmentation. Then the model is trained using machine learning and deep learning algorithms to understand patterns and characteristics related to parking spaces. Once trained, the AI model will be validated using test data. This aims to ensure that the model truly recognizes the presence of the vehicle. Next, form the application design in creating an informative interface using wireframes. Then enter the deployment stage so that the system can be accessed widely and easily via the web. Lastly, field testing is to find out the performance of the application that has been designed.

Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) are vital for managing and controlling critical infrastructures, such as industrial control systems, power grids, and transportation networks. These systems integrate digital and physical components, offering numerous benefits for industrial automation. However, the increasing interconnectivity of these systems has introduced new security vulnerabilities, particularly in anomaly detection and system reliability. This research aims to address these challenges by proposing an edge based anomaly detection framework that leverages lightweight deep learning models, specifically designed to operate efficiently on resource constrained edge devices. Literature Review: Previous studies have shown the effectiveness of anomaly detection in CPS, with traditional methods struggling to keep up with the complexity and scale of modern industrial environments. Machine learning and deep learning approaches, particularly hybrid models combining rule based systems and AI, have emerged as effective solutions for real time anomaly detection. Techniques such as model compression, quantization, and pruning are essential for adapting these models to resource limited edge devices while maintaining high detection accuracy and low latency. Materials and Method: The proposed framework integrates deep learning models such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks, optimized for edge computing environments. The datasets used for training and testing include industrial network traffic and sensor anomaly datasets. Model optimization techniques like pruning and quantization were applied to reduce computational overhead and energy consumption on edge devices. Results and Discussion: The framework demonstrated high detection accuracy (AUC of 0.9720) with ultra low latency (0.0019 seconds training time), making it highly suitable for real time anomaly detection in CPS. Resource efficiency was achieved by optimizing the models for edge devices, reducing energy consumption while maintaining performance. The framework also significantly improved security by identifying anomalies early, preventing potential threats to critical infrastructures. Future directions include exploring federated learning to enhance privacy and data sharing across distributed devices.

Literacy skills especially reading in Indonesia are still low. To improve reading literacy, literacy training can be done before learning. Literacy reading habits can be done with 15 minutes of reading material before learning begins.

The aim of the Teaching Campus activity program for students at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education is as a means for students to prepare themselves to become quality educators, and also to create the identity of an educator as well as to increase their knowledge about education. What will be done in carrying out the Teaching Campus program activities are debriefing, observing the school environment, observing learning in class and activities for forming work programs. The school situation certainly has many obstacles in educating its students. Therefore, prospective educators must be able to understand, and also find and search for various solutions to problems that have been observed in various ways which are of course fast and accurate. The situations we find in school and in learning often result in discrepancies from the learning plans expected by an educator. Therefore, an educator has other ways to carry out learning so that learning can be said to be successful and according to plan. Therefore, it is necessary to be close to students as a way for us to know the nature and characteristics of each student so that it can help to overcome problems that exist when learning takes place. When finding problems, prospective educators create ways to minimize various obstacles by using various learning methods which include interactive, active and interesting methods which aim to motivate students so that they are active in the classroom. Apart from these methods, prospective educators must teach various materials which are of course relevant to students' daily lives.

This research aims to evaluate the use of the spinning top method in improving students' ability to understand physics concepts. The spinning top method, which involves active and interactive learning through physical demonstrations, is used as an alternative approach in teaching physics. This research involved students as research subjects and was carried out by comparing learning outcomes between the group that received training using the gasing method and the control group that used the conventional method. Data was collected through physics concept understanding tests before and after the intervention, as well as through classroom observations. Data analysis was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the spinning top method in increasing students' understanding of physics concepts. It is hoped that the research results can provide valuable insight for educational practitioners in developing more interactive and effective learning strategies in the context of physics learning.
