The Independent Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata Mandiri or KKN Mandiri) of Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara was implemented as a community engagement initiative aimed at improving the quality of elementary education in Ndokum Siroga Village, Simpang Empat District, Karo Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The program sought to strengthen students’ academic competencies and character development while enhancing teachers’ capacity to implement the Deep Learning approach, which emphasizes mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning, supported by digital technologies. The activities were conducted over a 20-day period, from 1 to 20 September 2025, using a participatory and collaborative approach involving students, teachers, and community members at SD Negeri 040469 Surbakti and MI An-Nahwa. The main activities included interactive and engaging learning sessions for students, character education and anti-bullying campaigns, as well as teacher training on Chromebook utilization and the development of Deep Learning-based teaching modules. Data collected through observations, interviews, and reflective discussions revealed improvements in students’ learning motivation, critical thinking skills, and positive social behavior. In addition, teachers demonstrated greater confidence in integrating digital learning technologies into classroom practices. Overall, the program offers a sustainable community service model that contributes to improving the quality of basic education in rural areas.
