This community service activity aims to integrate theory and practice through the construction of simple shelters by the academic community of the Vocational Program at Gorontalo State University. The activity is motivated by the need to improve the technical competence and social skills of building architecture students. The method used is participatory action learning, involving students and faculty members from planning to evaluation. The activities include group division, case studies at brick and block factories, construction of the lower, middle, and upper structures, and final assessment. The results showed that 70% of students mastered construction skills in accordance with simple building standards, with the final product being a functional shelter. The main challenges faced were team coordination and time management. Discussions confirmed that this model is effective in enhancing technical skills, teamwork, and understanding of sustainable construction, and is worth replicating in other vocational programs. The shelter construction also provided an opportunity to reflect on real-world applications of architectural theory, while addressing pressing community needs. Through active participation, students gained firsthand knowledge in applying design concepts and construction techniques that are crucial to the construction industry. Furthermore, the activity demonstrated the potential for developing students' abilities to apply architectural concepts that are not only relevant to academic requirements but also to practical, community-based construction needs. The project also emphasized the importance of sustainable building practices, focusing on materials and methods that minimize environmental impact. The construction of the shelter not only provided practical experience but also enriched students' knowledge in creating environmentally friendly and sustainable construction solutions.

Ethics in face-to-face discussion learning for accounting students finds new challenges when AI has been widely used. This study aims to determine the dimensions of legality, ethics, and behavior of AI use in accounting students' discussions. This study is exploratory descriptive. Primary data were collected through interview methods. Secondary data was obtained through a literature study. Respondents were 3rd-semester students of the accounting study program who had not taken the Professional Ethics course. The findings from the legal aspect show that there is a legal vacuum related to the results of AI's work. Therefore, the results of AI's work are owned by users who download it and agree to the terms and conditions that apply to the AI ​​installed on their devices. In this regard, we recommend the implementation of the Work Made For Hire Doctrine. The Ethics Aspect is still related to the legal vacuum aspect, so students need rules or initial agreements in using AI in face-to-face discussion activities. The result strengthens the evidence of deontological ethics in Accounting students. The benefits of using AI from the results of this study are to increase class activity, so that lecturers are expected to elaborate on the use of AI in their lecture methods. Another positive side of using AI is because the answers are too broad and often inconsistent, this condition triggers students’ critical thinking. On the other hand, students generally use AI to save time. Therefore, it is recommended that accounting student lecturers provide a different perspective on the importance of studying lecture material, and emphasize the assessment of each individual based on the process, not on the result.

Teenagers today are filled with a number of rapid technological changes and developments. From a financial perspective, teenagers at this stage have a growing ability to understand the principles of saving and spending money, not only the basics, but also long-term goals. The three main areas that parents should focus on are income, savings, and responsible spending (shopping or investment). Problems that often occur in society (including teenagers) are such as wasteful living (lifestyle), online loan debt, and being trapped in online gambling. The emergence of several entertainment venues, cafes, and angkringan makes spending difficult for teenagers to control. The methods used in this service are lectures, simulations, discussions and questions and answers regarding the usefulness and benefits of understanding financial literacy. The results of this service show the different nature and patterns of financial management of teenagers requiring presentation patterns that need to be adjusted. In the implementation of the activity, there were participants (some) who were more enthusiastic or serious about this series of training. Presenters (speakers) require the application of andragogy model learning. This model is intended so that the presenter (material provider) and participants are not bored, comfortable in communicating and feedback appears quickly. In the future, training or workshops will be more directed to more technical or specific, for example capital market investment, mutual funds or other investment models.
