Abstract

Youth have an important role in development, where young people are required to have an important
role in the welfare of society. In the current era of development, the role of technology has become
something important to improve development. However, in reality in society, many people think that
this technology can only be used by highly educated people, where people in general are only users
and even spectators in the development of this technology. The Ancol Youth Association is a youth
group located in Ancol Hamlet, Sindangkasih Village, Sindangkasih District, Ciamis Regency which
has a high level of teamwork and mutual cooperation to provide a positive impact in society. If this
capital is not utilized properly, then the role of youth in the application of technology, especially
Appropriate Technology (TTG), will become less useful. Based on the results of initial observations
made, these young people still think that technology is something that is considered expensive and
cannot be developed by everyone. Under these conditions, the PbM-PPIM implementing team felt
challenged to change the youth's paradigm in implementing TTG in society by providing direct

understanding and training in developing this technology. In general, the implementation of PbM-
PPIM activities has been completed regarding training and implementation of microcontroller-based

technology. The effectiveness of the activity was felt to be very good, which was obtained based on
the results of interviews with partners that this form of training activity had a very big impact on the
partners. This is proven by the increasing knowledge and experience of partners in using
microcontroller-based technology.
