Abstract

Yosodadi Village in East Metro District, Lampung, has an area of about 317 hectares and a population of about 7,156 people, making it a socially and socially active area with various activities such as KB Villages, routine recitation, and cultivation training. In this community service, it is focused on RW 5 RT 11. Based on the results of the interview, it was revealed that the child's interest in learning decreased due to addiction to playing gadgets. As a solution, a digital literacy program was created with the aim of providing an understanding of the positive and negative impacts of excessive use of gadgets. This program targets kindergarten to junior high school children and is held starting August 1, 2025 through consultation and collaboration with the management of the Hidayaturahman Mosque TPA to invite the participation of local children in digital literacy education.
