The growing population and changing consumption patterns in Bengkulu City have led to an increase in waste volume, posing environmental pollution risks affecting soil, water, and air. As a solution, the SEHATI Central Waste Bank implements a structured, community-based waste management approach that involves waste collection, sorting, processing, and recycling of both organic and inorganic waste. This initiative is supported by a digital application that streamlines waste management processes, ensures transaction transparency, and enhances incentives for participating community members. The application also provides education on the importance of 3RB (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Benefit), aiming to reduce waste ending up in landfills. Community service results show that the use of this digital application not only increases community participation in waste sorting and management but also effectively reduces environmental pollution. The SEHATI Waste Bank has successfully promoted environmental sustainability through a circular economy that supports sustainable waste management.

Majoring in mechanical engineering can be a very promising option for high school students who want to pursue a career in robotics technology. The development of the robotics industry continues to experience rapid growth as more and more manufacturers automate their facilities every year. Robotics learning provides students with combined material from various fields of science, especially mechanics, electronics, and computers. The rapid development of technology allows the development of artificial intelligence systems and automation in various fields. One of them is the field of robotics. This training uses a Line Follower robot because the manufacturing process is considered not too difficult, it is hoped that students can learn the manufacturing techniques quickly. This Community Service activity aims to improve the quality of knowledge and skills of high school students. They will be guided in training to make a Line Follower robot, a type of mobile robot that is tasked with detecting and following the guide lines available on the track. From this activity, the results of pre-test and post-test data from the participants, training modules, line-follower robots were obtained. The data obtained from the test results showed that there was an increase from 35.4% to 55.7% in basic knowledge and an increase of 56.6% in interest in robotics in students of SMAN 8 Kota Bengkulu after they received line follower robot training. In the results of community service, enthusiasm and high desire from students in deepening their knowledge of Line Follower robots were seen

English language learning at an early age plays an important role in children's cognitive, social and emotional development. This article evaluates the impact of teaching English through varied and interactive methods, such as educational games, songs, and creative activities, conducted on weekends. Based on observation and documentation, it was found that these methods significantly improved children's understanding of English vocabulary and structures, as well as strengthened their thinking, memory and problem-solving skills. In addition to cognitive benefits, English language teaching also supports the development of social skills by improving children's communication and collaboration abilities. Despite challenges such as the need for more diverse materials and adjustments to methods, adaptive approaches and the use of technology can improve learning effectiveness. The findings emphasize the importance of English language learning at an early age to prepare children for a connected global environment.

Engine oil is widely found in the remote village in many types of oil for engines. The more alternative engine oil products there are, the more choices of engine oil that are appropriate, correct, valid, and ideal. Many standards are referred such as SAE, API Service, and JASO. Buyers are not free to choose engine oil according to their wishes. Apart from that, there are also many fake engine oils circulating. Therefore, efforts are needed to overcome this problem. One way is to provide basic knowledge and understanding to villagers in choosing valid and correct types of engine oil based on engine characteristic specifications. The selection of valid and correct engine oil according to engine specifications in order to prevent and maintain engines from damage is the focus of community service. Strategies and methods in selecting valid and correct engine oil according to specifications are solutions in maintaining and caring for engines
