Abstract

Metro 6 State Senior High School is one of the schools that produces the best graduates in Metro City. Learning at this school strives to utilize the latest technology that is in accordance with the needs of the times. One technology that has not been taught at this school is Internet of Things technology. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that refers to a network of physical devices connected via the internet, which are able to exchange data without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. In the context of IoT, "physical devices" can include various types of objects, such as sensors, vehicles, household appliances, medical devices, and many more. Metro 6 State Senior High School students do not yet have an understanding of IoT theory and applications. This PKM activity introduces IoT technology through knowledge dissemination and practical assistance for IoT applications in simple applications such as turning on lights via smartphones. The results of this PKM activity are that students' knowledge of IoT theory and applications has increased by more than 100%, as shown by the results of the pre-test with an average score of 39.41 increasing to 80.59 in the post-test. In addition, students are also able to practice turning on lights via IoT-based smartphones. In addition, students of SMA Negeri 6 are facilitated with esp32 microcontrollers, relays and other tools that support the sustainability of IoT practical activities at this school.

Review

This paper, "Pelatihan Dasar dan Aplikasi Internet of Things di Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri 6 Metro Lampung," addresses a crucial and timely educational need: introducing high school students to fundamental concepts and applications of the Internet of Things (IoT). Recognizing the school's commitment to leveraging modern technology and the existing knowledge gap among students regarding IoT, the initiative sought to equip future graduates with essential digital literacy. This effort is commendable, aligning education with the demands of an increasingly interconnected world and preparing students for the technological landscape they will encounter. The methodology employed was a community service (PKM) activity, which effectively combined theoretical instruction with practical, hands-on application. Students received knowledge dissemination on IoT concepts and subsequently gained practical experience by implementing a simple yet impactful application: controlling lights via smartphones using IoT technology. The success of this approach is clearly evidenced by the quantitative results, showing a remarkable increase in student knowledge, with average pre-test scores rising from 39.41 to 80.59 in the post-test. Beyond the measurable knowledge gain, students also successfully demonstrated the practical ability to operate IoT-based smart devices, and the provision of essential hardware like ESP32 microcontrollers ensures the sustained continuity of these practical learning activities within the school. Overall, this paper presents a compelling case for the effectiveness of targeted technology training at the high school level. Its strengths lie in identifying a critical educational need, implementing a practical and engaging intervention, and clearly demonstrating a significant positive impact on student knowledge and skills. While the abstract strongly highlights the immediate success, future studies or elaborations could benefit from detailing aspects such as the number of participants, the precise duration of the training, or qualitative insights into student engagement and long-term retention. Nevertheless, this work serves as an excellent model for educational institutions aiming to integrate cutting-edge technologies into their curriculum, underscoring the value of hands-on learning and strategic resource provision in fostering technological readiness among students.
