High school teachers in East Aceh face the challenge of limited skills in integrating technology, deep learning approaches, and game-based learning (GBL) strategies into teaching media. This condition results in learning that tends to remain conventional and less contextual to 21st-century needs. This community service activity aims to increase teacher capacity through education and workshops in developing digital educational cards based on local values using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. The activity was carried out at SMAN Unggul East Aceh for three days and involved 30 teachers from various subjects. The methods used included providing conceptual material, direct practice, collaborative mentoring, and evaluation through pretests and posttests, observations, and satisfaction questionnaires. All data were analyzed descriptively to describe improvements in participant knowledge, skills, and satisfaction. The results showed an increase in teacher understanding based on the average posttest score, which increased from 5.41 to 8.65, and the participant satisfaction level reached 4.75 on a scale of 5. The concrete product, in the form of interactive digital educational cards, produced by teachers demonstrated the ability to integrate local values into learning. This program is considered successful in creating a participatory, reflective, and creative learning atmosphere, and is recommended to be continued through ongoing mentoring and the formation of a teacher practice community.

Visual impairment in children is a health issue that affects cognitive, social, and educational development, yet early detection at the preschool level is still rarely implemented. The community service program “Anak Hebat: Ayo Cek Mata!” was conducted to address this need in Sidorejo Village, Gresik Regency, where no previous screening of visual acuity had been carried out among children in Playgroup (KB) and Kindergarten (TK) or equivalent levels. The aim of this activity was to detect visual acuity problems early in preschool children so that timely referral and management could be provided. The implementation method consisted of four stages: needs identification through interviews with village officials and schools, activity planning through coordination with stakeholders, visual screening using the Peek Acuity application with standardized measurement procedures, and evaluation of activity. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially, including Fisher’s exact test. A total of 56 children participated, but only 39 children (69.6%) were successfully assessed for visual acuity. There was a significant association between age and measurement success (p<0.001). Among children with successfully measured visual acuity, 37 (94.8%) had no visual impairment, 1 child (2.6%) had mild impairment, and 1 child (2.6%) had moderate impairment. No association was found between either age or sex and visual acuity classification (p=0.858 and p=0.231). The limitations of the activity included low cooperativeness among children aged 3–4 years and the absence of alternative methods for children who did not yet understand instructions. Nevertheless, this program provides long-term benefits for the community, including serving as a basis for school vision health policies, supporting village-level health program evaluation, and encouraging the establishment of routine screening initiatives. Early detection at the preschool age is expected to prevent worsening visual impairment and improve children’s quality of life in the future.
