Abstract

The current challenge for physics teachers is not only to enhance students’ understanding of physics but also to help them realize the significant contributions of physics to everyday life in society. The purpose of this community service program is to assist students and teachers in developing problem-solving skills and to transform the image of physics learning from drill-based teaching into problem-solving and project-based learning. In addition, this activity aims to promote a more engaging and enjoyable image of physics. The method employed in this program was a workshop in which partner school students created simple projects under the guidance of university students as facilitators. After the activity, participants were asked to complete a satisfaction survey regarding the implementation of this community service program. The results indicated that almost all participants expressed satisfaction with the program’s execution.
