Lecturers and Students of Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia Conduct Mini Solar Car Training at MAN 1 Bandar Lampung
Lecturers and students from the Electrical Engineering Department of Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia once again carried out a Community Service Program (PKM) as part of the university’s commitment to supporting educational development and technological advancement among students. This activity was held at MAN 1 Bandar Lampung through a Mini Solar Car training workshop. The program aimed to inspire and foster young students’ interest in science and technology, particularly in the field of renewable energy. During the activity, students were introduced to the basic concepts of solar energy and its potential as an environmentally friendly alternative energy source. In addition to receiving theoretical explanations, the students were also invited to participate in a hands-on training session assembling Mini Solar Cars powered by solar panels. Through this practical experience, students were able to understand how sunlight can be converted into electrical energy and then used to power a small vehicle. Throughout the activity, the students showed great enthusiasm. They actively asked questions, engaged in discussions, and carefully followed each step of the assembly process. This demonstrated that the training not only provided new knowledge but also encouraged curiosity and strengthened students’ interest in technology. The supervising lecturer stated that the Mini Solar Car training is part of Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia’s commitment to improving scientific and technological literacy among students, while also introducing the concept of renewable energy utilization from an early age. Through this community service activity, it is hoped that students will gain broader insights into solar energy technology and become motivated to continue learning and innovating in the fields of science and technology in the future. Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia hopes that similar programs can continue to be implemented in various schools so that the benefits of science and technology can be widely shared with the community.
