Workshop Pelatihan Simulasi Wokwi dan Implementasi Modul Starter IoT untuk Meningkatkan Kompetensi Siswa SMK NADA
SMK Nasional Dawarblandong (SMK NADA) is a vocational school that focuses on developing technological skills; however, it still faces limitations in practical learning facilities, particularly in the field of Internet of Things (IoT). Preliminary observations showed that 78% of students had never used microcontroller devices and 85% had never used IoT simulation platforms such as Wokwi. This condition contributes to low levels of technical competence among students, while industry demand for IoT-related skills continues to increase. This community service program aimed to improve students' competencies through a training workshop on Wokwi simulation and the implementation of an IoT starter module using Arduino and ESP32. The training applied a participatory learning approach consisting of theoretical explanation, simulation practice, case studies, and direct hardware implementation. The evaluation was conducted using pre-test, post-test, and participant satisfaction questionnaires. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ understanding of IoT concepts and automation systems. Questionnaire analysis showed that 36% of participants rated the clarity of tutor explanations with the highest score (score 5), indicating excellent communication effectiveness during training. Overall, the training successfully improved students' knowledge and practical skills in IoT simulation and microcontroller-based automation systems.

Sosialisasi Bank Sampah untuk Meningkatkan Kepatuhan Pengelolaan Sampah di Desa Pemecutan Kaja
Waste management remains one of the environmental issues in urban areas, including Denpasar City. The low level of public awareness in sorting waste from the source and the limited community participation in waste bank management have become challenges in realizing sustainable waste management. This community service activity aims to increase public understanding of waste management and the role of waste banks as part of a community-based waste management system. The activity was conducted through a socialization program involving 45 participants who were core members of the PKK women’s group representing each banjar in Pemecutan Kaja Village, Denpasar City. The materials presented included household waste management, regulations related to waste management and the rights and obligations of the community in maintaining environmental sustainability, as well as the introduction of recording and bookkeeping systems in waste bank management. The results of the activity indicate that the socialization increased participants’ understanding of the importance of sorting waste at the household level and managing waste banks more systematically. In addition, the introduction of a waste bank recording system also attracted participants’ attention as an effort to support more organized waste bank management at the community level.

Penyuluhan dan Pembuatan Eco-Enzyme dari Limbah Organik Rumah Tangga untuk Peningkatan Kesuburan Tanah di Banjar Panti Gede, Desa Pemecutan Kaja
Organic household waste remains a significant environmental problem in Indonesia due to the limited utilization of organic waste into value-added products. This condition contributes to environmental pollution and hinders the implementation of sustainable agriculture at the community level. This community service program aimed to enhance community knowledge and skills in processing organic waste into eco-enzyme and applying it as a liquid organic fertilizer to improve soil fertility.The activity was conducted in Banjar Panti Gede, Pemecutan Kaja Village, involving 175 members of the PKK women’s group as participants. The method used a participatory-educative approach through counseling sessions, demonstrations, and direct assistance in producing eco-enzyme using a 3:1:10 ratio (organic waste : brown sugar : water) with a fermentation period of approximately 90 days.The results showed an improvement in community awareness and practical skills in managing organic waste independently. The produced eco-enzyme had a clear brown color, a fresh sour aroma, and a pH of 3–4. The eco-enzyme was applied to home garden plants with a dilution of approximately 10%, which showed improved plant growth responses compared to pre-treatment conditions, particularly in plant height and leaf number.This activity demonstrates that the utilization of eco-enzyme not only contributes to reducing organic waste but also supports soil fertility improvement and sustainable household-level agricultural practices.

Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Desa Bleberan Melalui Peningkatan Nilai Tambah Jagung
Corn is one of the agricultural sector outputs that has always been a favorite in several regions in Indonesia. Moreover, Indonesia, with its tropical climate, is a paradise for corn plants in various regions, including in Bleberan Village, Jatirejo District, Mojokerto Regency. The demographics of the Bleberan village population, as many as 11.6% work as farm/plantation laborers, supported by the still very extensive availability of land, also contribute to the increase in abundant corn harvests. The people of Bleberan Village do not yet fully understand how to increase the utility value of corn, considering that cultivation activities carried out so far are limited to personal consumption or sale in the form of raw corn. The purpose of this activity is to provide an understanding to the people of Bleberan Village about efforts that can be made to increase the economic value of corn by diversifying corn raw materials, calculating production costs incurred and measuring profits from production activities. The results obtained, the community is able to utilize corn kernels into corn crackers, adept at calculating each expected profit if this commodity is sold.

Pelatihan Branding Digital dan Repackaging Produk UMKM di Desa Pilanjau
Given the increasingly competitive nature of the workplace and business world, micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) are being challenged to adapt to technological advancements, evolving mindsets, and consumer preferences in today's modern era. Current evidence suggests that many MSMEs have yet to address digital branding and product repackaging. Digital branding is the process of creating and managing a brand's identity and reputation online. This process involves using various digital channels and tools to promote a brand, engage customers, and build a strong online presence. Repackaging refers to the act of putting something into new packaging or a new container. It is the process of changing a product's original packaging, often for various strategic reasons. The Pilanjau Village MSME Product Digital Branding and Repackaging Training was successfully implemented and received a positive response from the participants, the majority of whom were local MSMEs. Through this activity, participants gained fundamental knowledge and practical skills regarding the importance of digitally building a brand identity (branding) and how to repackage products to create a more attractive and professional appearance. This training successfully opened participants' minds to the fact that branding and packaging are not merely about appearance, but are strategic elements in increasing product competitiveness in the modern marketplace, both offline and online. Going forward, further mentoring is needed to ensure participants can consistently implement the knowledge gained in their businesses.

Ekstraksi Bunga Telang dan Bawang Dayak Sebagai Pewarna Alami dan Antioksidan Pada Kue Mangkuk
The two main challenges to food security in Indonesia relate to the availability and safety of food, in the sense that hazardous materials do not contaminate it. Availability can be overcome with semi-subsistence measures, i.e., people produce some of their food for household needs by utilizing the home-yard to reduce expenditure. Meanwhile, safe food can be obtained by avoiding additives/synthesized ingredients and replacing them with natural ingredients. The community service (PKM) aims to socialize utilizing home-yard, healthy food, and natural coloring ingredients that contain antioxidants when making cupcakes. The coloring material was extracted from telang flower and dayak onion, which are local weeds. The PKM results showed that 80% of participants were motivated to utilize their home-yard to grow food, and 53% were motivated to raise livestock and fish. Healthy food socialization improved the understanding of all participants (100%) on the concept of nutritious, balanced, healthy, and safe food (B2SA) as an improvement on the old idea of four healthy, five perfect. All participants (100%) stated that they intend to make their cupcakes at home after seeing that making them is not difficult, the equipment is simple, the ingredients are not expensive, and the time required is not much.

Enhancing Public Health Through Free Health Screening for the Elderly and Blood Donation: A Model for Sustainable Community Engagement
This study aims to assess the impact of a free health screening program for the elderly and a blood donation drive in enhancing public health awareness and community engagement. The increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases among the elderly and the high demand for blood donations underscore the need for such initiatives. The study employed a community-based intervention approach, incorporating health screenings for 40 elderly participants and a blood donation drive involving 45 donors. The methodology included medical assessments, surveys, and observational data collection. Findings indicate that 35% of elderly participants were diagnosed with hypertension, 20% with elevated blood glucose levels, and 10% with high uric acid levels. Furthermore, 80% of blood donors expressed willingness to participate in future donation activities. Nutritional support, including whole wheat bread and mung bean extract for the elderly and iron supplements with isotonic beverages for blood donors, was provided to aid recovery and promote healthy habits. These results highlight the significance of integrated healthcare initiatives in fostering preventive health practices and increasing voluntary blood donations. The study suggests expanding the scope of health screenings and strengthening digital outreach to enhance public participation. Future research should involve larger sample sizes to validate these findings and explore additional factors influencing health awareness and donor retention. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of community-driven health programs in promoting sustainable healthcare practices.
