This research focused on improving fine motor development in early childhood through creative learning activities that utilize recycled materials, designed and implemented using the ADDIE instructional model. The study involved children from class B2 at TK Prawidya Darma and was conducted systematically through five stages, namely analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Throughout the learning process, children were engaged in a variety of hands-on craft activities, including cutting, folding, gluing, and assembling recycled objects, which were intentionally structured to train hand–eye coordination, finger flexibility, and concentration. The results demonstrate that learning activities based on recycled materials offer rich and meaningful experiences for young learners. Children showed noticeable improvements in accuracy, independence, and creative expression while completing tasks. In addition, the use of recycled materials helped cultivate environmental awareness from an early age, as children learned the value of reusing everyday objects. The classroom atmosphere became more interactive and enjoyable, with students actively participating and showing enthusiasm during the activities. Overall, the findings indicate that creative recycling-based activities are effective in supporting fine motor skill development through enjoyable, practical, and environmentally friendly learning experiences. This study concludes that integrating recycled materials into creative activities can be an innovative, sustainable, and pedagogically valuable approach for early childhood education programs.

The purpose of this study is to discuss the introduction of the Pendet Dance in the Markandeya–Walailak cultural exchange program and to evaluate its effectiveness as a cross-cultural character education tool.

The exercise emphasizes how traditional performing arts can be a powerful tool for international engagement and cultural diplomacy. All things considered, the program shows that cultural exchange programs can make a significant contribution to global character education, and it is advised that comparable projects be maintained and developed in subsequent international education partnerships.

This community service program aims to introduce basic English vocabulary to Kindergarten students through the medium of bilingual songs. The background of this activity is the limitation of interactive learning media and the dominance of traditional methods that are less attractive for early childhood. Bilingual songs were chosen because they have a simple rhythm, easy to remember lyrics, and are able to create a fun and contextual learning atmosphere.

Teachers also reported that the use of bilingual songs helped keep children's attention and created a positive learning atmosphere. Overall, this activity proves that bilingual songs are an effective, fun, and appropriate medium for children's developmental stages to strengthen mastery of basic English vocabulary. This program is recommended to be applied continuously in daily learning activities in kindergarten classrooms.

The goal of this community service program (PkM) at SMA Negeri 11 Samarinda is to increase students' enthusiasm for reading by providing them with e-books that are based on QR codes. Students' lack of enthusiasm for reading and resources for reading led to the program's inception.

Household waste management remains a critical challenge in creating clean and sustainable residential environments. Manual monitoring methods often lead to delayed waste collection, overflowing bins, and operational inefficiency. This community engagement program implements an Internet of Things (IoT)-based Smart Trash Monitoring SIstem (STMS) at Graha Panyindangan Estate, Indramayu.

Nutritional problems in toddlers remain a public health challenge in Indonesia, including in Tarakan City, North Kalimantan. The 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) data shows a high prevalence of malnutrition, severe malnutrition, and stunting in toddlers, with data showing that based on the body weight index (BB/A) the prevalence of malnourished toddlers is 3.9% while 13.8% of toddlers are undernourished. Based on the height-for-age (H/A) index, there are 11.5% of toddlers with very short nutritional status and 19.3% of toddlers with stunted nutritional status. Meanwhile, based on the weight-for-height (BB/H) index, the proportion of very wasted children is 3.5%, undernourished children are 6.7%, and overweight children are 8% (Riskesdas, 2018). Because of these problems, early nutrition education efforts are needed.

The management of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) at PT Phapros Tbk still faces obstacles in the form of difficult document access, numerous files scattered across several folders, and MSDS presented in English that is difficult for workers to understand. This condition has the potential to hinder understanding of chemical safety information in the work environment. This activity aims to develop a digital innovation in the form of the QR-Safe system to facilitate access and improve workers' understanding of basic MSDS information. The implementation methods include identifying problems through observation and interviews, developing a simplified MSDS summary template consisting of five main sections, creating QR codes for each chemical, and socializing the use of this innovation to employees. The results of the activity show that QR-Safe and the MSDS summary are able to speed up document searches, present safety information more concisely, and make it easier for workers to understand hazard identification, handling procedures, and the use of personal protective equipment. This innovation also contributes to improving the effectiveness of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) in companies. The digitization of MSDS through the QR-Safe digital innovation is highly effective in improving workers' accessibility to and understanding of chemical safety information.

Organic waste management at Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) is still not optimal, even though organic waste production averages 1,264 kg per month. This community service activity aims to develop technological innovations through the utilization of eggshell waste and Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggots into economically valuable pellet feed products. The activity was carried out from October 8 to 15, 2025, involving three workers from the Temporary Processing Site (TPS) of PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia YIA. The implementation methods included an initial survey, education, demonstration of pellet production, and evaluation of participants' skills and product quality. The production process involved drying, grinding the ingredients, mixing the ingredients, molding, and drying the pellets. The results showed that the workers were able to independently carry out the production process and produce pellets with good physical quality. Cost analysis showed that the cost of production was IDR 47,989/kg, with a potential profit margin of 30% and an estimated return on investment within ±7 months. This innovation has proven effective in reducing waste volume, increasing the added value of organic waste, and supporting the principles of zero waste and circular economy in the airport area. This program has the potential to be further developed as a model for sustainable organic waste management.
