This study used a classroom action research design which was carried out in three stages, namely the pre-cycle stage, cycle I, and cycle II with the research subjects being grade III students at SDN Kaliwungu 1. This study used two variables, namely intensive reading skills and intensive reading learning using the KWL strategy. . Pre-cycle data collection was done by using the test technique, while in the first cycle and the second cycle using the test and non-test technique. Non-test instruments in the form of observations, journals, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis includes quantitative and qualitative data. The results showed that after participating in intensive reading learning using the KWL strategy, the average value of intensive reading skills of third grade students at SDN Kaliwungu 1 increased. The average value of intensive reading using the KWL strategy achieved by students in the pre-cycle was 56 and in the first cycle it increased to 65 or 9% then in the second cycle it increased to 76 or 11%. Changes in attitudes and behavior of third grade students at SDN Kaliwungu 1 Kaliwungu District, Semarang Regency have increased towards a better direction, namely students are more active and enthusiastic in learning, because students are starting to enjoy and enjoy intensive reading learning using the KWL strategy.

The innovation of the robot cars today is moving very fast. The robot car is capable of being driven without using manual remote controls. One form of technological development in robot car control is by using hand gestures. The microcontrolle placed in the palm of the hand will read the direction of movement of our hands, then the instructions are transmitted to the robot car.  The transmission system used in the microcontrolled circuit in the palm of the hand and the receiver circuit inside the robot car must be properly attached. This is influenced by the quality of programming language levels and the arduino mini pro and MPU-6050 circuits. Hand gesture directional readings are able to be easily readable and directly transmitted by the NRF24L01 module via radio waves. The response power of the robot car in receiving hand-move instructions can be received as far as 45 m. In addition to using a good arduino mini pro, the addition of antenna modules will also increase the quality and distance of the connection is getting farther..
