English Fun Day: A Game-Based Approach to Improving Elementary Student’s English Skills in Lekaq Kidau Village
English is an essential skill that needs to be mastered from an early age in order to face the development of science and the challenges of globalization. However, the implementation of English learning at the elementary school level, particularly in rural areas such as Lekaq Kidau Village, still encounters several obstacles. Limited learning facilities, lack of variety in teaching methods, and monotonous learning patterns often lead to low student motivation. As a result, English is often perceived as a difficult and boring subject. To address these challenges, the 51st KKN Team of Universitas Mulawarman carried out the English Fun Day program at SDN 026 Sebulu, Lekaq Kidau Village, under the theme “English Fun Day: Laugh and Learn with Educative Games.” This program was designed to create an enjoyable learning atmosphere through a combination of basic English material and educational games. The results of this activity showed that English Fun Day successfully fostered a fun and meaningful learning environment, while also making a real contribution to improving the English skills of elementary school students in Lekaq Kidau Village.

Environmental management innovation and character education: the role of Mulawarman University's community service program in empowering Villages and Schools
The Community Service Program of Mulawarman University focused on empowering local communities through two flagship activities in Makarti Village, Marangkayu District: PLASTANI (Plastic for Farming) and Anti-Bullying Socialization. PLASTANI utilized plastic bottles as semi-hydroponic wick system planting media to reduce plastic waste while strengthening household food security. Training combined theory and practice, enabling participants to create planting systems independently. Results showed that more than 95% of participants successfully implemented the semi-hydroponic system, and several community groups adopted it in practice. Meanwhile, the Anti-Bullying Socialization was conducted at SDN 011 Marangkayu through interactive discussions, pre-test, post-test, and reflection using anonymous sticky notes. The activity improved students’ understanding of bullying and harassment from less than 30% before the program to over 70% after. In addition, students showed increased confidence in answering questions and participating in discussions. These findings demonstrate that community service integrating environmental innovation and character education can positively impact both waste management and social awareness. Thus, the synergy between environmental sustainability and education has the potential to build resilient, inclusive, and sustainable rural communities

One Action, Pelita in Synergy: Strengthening Traditional Snack MSMEs and Affordable Food Access in Community Empowerment Efforts in Pelita Samarinda
The main problem faced by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Pelita Subdistrict is the lack of awareness of branding and business legality. Many business actors are still digitally illiterate, resulting in limited utilization of online platforms for promotion and the absence of a Business Identification Number (NIB) as formal legal recognition. This situation restricts market reach and limits access to broader business opportunities. The Community Service Program (KKN) with the theme “One Action, Pelita in Synergy” was carried out to assist MSMEs, particularly the traditional snack MSME Untuk-Untuk Mama Mita. The program included the creation of promotional banners, an Instagram account for digital marketing, a promotional video highlighting local potential, and facilitation of NIB registration. In addition, the KKN team collaborated with the Samarinda City Food Security and Agriculture Office (DKPP) in organizing the Affordable Food Program (Gerak Pangan Murah/GPM) to provide staple foods at lower prices for the local community. The results show an increased awareness among MSME actors regarding the importance of branding and business legality, as well as the initiation of potential collaboration between the subdistrict government, related agencies, and the community to support sustainable local economic empowerment.

Enhancing public health and environmental awareness through local resources in Bakungan Village, Kutai Kartanegara
Health and environmental awareness are important for improving the quality of life. A series of programs was carried out in Bakungan Village to promote health and strengthen environmental care. The interventions included health screening, nutrition education with tilapia nuggets, the introduction of butterfly pea tea for hypertension, environmental education on waste management, and drainage revitalization. Health screening measured blood pressure, blood glucose, uric acid, and hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls. It was followed by the distribution of iron tablets to prevent anemia. Nutrition education improved mothers’ knowledge and encouraged children to consume fish in more acceptable forms. Butterfly pea tea for hypertension was introduced as a local option for blood pressure control, but most participants considered the taste bland and suggested innovation. Environmental education on waste management increased students’ awareness of proper waste handling. Drainage revitalization restored water flow and encouraged residents to maintain their environment. The programs enhanced community awareness of health, nutrition, and environmental sustainability through the use of local resources.

Implementation of Waste Management Innovation through the Production of Ecoenzymes, Ecobricks, and Educational Signs in Wono Sari Tourism Village Sepaku District Penajam Paser Utara Regency Kalimantan Timur
Waste management remains a global challenge, including in the growing tourist village area. Wonosari Tourism Village, located in Sepaku Sub-district, Penajam Paser Utara Regency, faces the problem of increasing waste volume along with tourism activities, which if not managed can damage the image of tourism while threatening environmental sustainability. To answer this challenge, the Mulawarman University Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) implemented a waste management innovation programme through three main activities, namely the manufacture of eco enzyme, the use of eco brick into eco booths, and the installation of waste age education signs. The activity method was carried out by surveying and preparation followed by counselling, hands-on practice, and community participation in each stage of the programme. The results of the programme showed the active involvement of the community in processing organic waste into eco enzyme, making 110 ecobricks assembled as an eco booth in the Goa Tapak Raja tourist area, and installing educational signs at SDN 012 Sepaku as a means of environmental literacy. In addition to creating useful physical products, this activity also helped the community better understand the importance of managing organic and inorganic waste in a creative, innovative and environmentally friendly way.

Community Empowerment; Management of Inorganic Waste and Hazardous and Toxic Materials into Environmentally Friendly Infrastructure Products in Pulau Atas Village, Samarinda, East Kalimantan
Pulau Atas Village is one of the villages located in Sambutan District, Samarinda City, with a population of 3,665 and an area of 2,939 hectares. It is undeniable that with such a large population, waste management remains a significant issue in Pulau Atas due to the lack of temporary waste collection sites (TPS). Samarinda produces 603.31 tons of waste per day, which undoubtedly contributes significantly to environmental issues, particularly in areas like Pulau Atas. Improperly managed waste can lead to various negative impacts, ranging from environmental pollution to public health issues. Given these challenges, community empowerment initiatives can be developed for the management of inorganic waste and Hazardous and Toxic Materials (B3), with a focus on processing waste into economically valuable products at the household level. For example, household waste can be sorted, with recyclables like plastic, glass, and metals being collected for resale, while organic waste can be composted for use in home gardens. B3 waste, including batteries and electronics, can be safely handled and sent for proper disposal or recycling. Thus, through training, mentoring, and facilitation in waste management, there has been an increase in public awareness and involvement in waste management, as well as the creation of additional income sources from products derived from waste management. The empowerment of Pulau Atas Village residents in waste management has shown promising results, not only improving the local environment but also creating economic opportunities. The success of this initiative demonstrates that, with proper training and support, even in areas with limited infrastructure, communities can take control of their waste management challenges. Scaling this model to other villages in Samarinda could help addressing the growing waste issue across the city, turning waste from a problem into a sustainable resource.

Enhancing Digital Literacy at SMPN 2 Marangkayu through the Introduction of Coding and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Socialization of the Dangers of Online Gambling
The rapid development of technology requires digital literacy that encompasses both skills (promotive) and risk awareness (preventive). This community service program, conducted through the KKN initiative at SMPN 2 Marangkayu, integrated two interventions: (1) the introduction of computational thinking, coding, and basic AI concepts through interactive presentations, algorithmic games, and student worksheets (LKPD); and (2) the socialization of the dangers of online gambling through counseling, discussions, simple simulations, educational quizzes, and pre–post test assessments. The activities were carried out in several 90-minute sessions. The results demonstrated high participant enthusiasm, improved understanding of basic coding–AI concepts, and significant progress in students’ post-test responses regarding the definition, impacts, legal aspects, and prevention of online gambling compared to their pre-test. These findings confirm the effectiveness of an integrated digital literacy approach at the junior high school level and recommend its routine integration into Informatics learning, along with strengthened school–parent collaboration to supervise gadget use.

Implementation of the Stunting Reduction Acceleration Program in the Sepaso Area as a Strategy for Improving Child Health
Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that affects the quality of human resources in Indonesia, including in Kutai Timur, where the prevalence remains relatively high. Efforts to accelerate stunting reduction in Sepaso Village are carried out through an educative and collaborative approach involving various community elements. The interventions include counseling for adolescents about anemia and stunting, education for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers about balanced nutrition, exclusive breastfeeding, as well as healthy parenting and environmental sanitation practices. Additionally, monitoring of toddler growth, provision of vitamins and deworming medication, and recording of child development charts for early detection of stunting risk are also conducted. The results of these activities show an increase in understanding and active participation of the community in maintaining maternal and child health, which is a crucial factor in stunting prevention. Collaboration between community health centers (puskesmas), posyandu cadres, schools, and village communities has proven to strengthen the effectiveness of the program. Thus, an integrated educative strategy based on community participation can be a significant step in reducing stunting rates while creating a healthier and higher-quality generation.
