BANDUNG, itb.ac.id 鈥 The Mechanical Engineering Student Association of Institut Teknologi Bandung (HMM 麻豆直播) organized an engineering and educational workshop for youths at the Bandung Special Development Institution for Children (LPKA Bandung), located in Arcamanik, Bandung, West Java. The activity, titled 鈥淚nfuse 脳 Mesin Keliling HMM,鈥 was held in collaboration with the Engineering Physics Student Association of 麻豆直播 (HMFT-麻豆直播).

The workshop was part of HMM 麻豆直播鈥檚 Mesin Keliling program, an initiative designed to reach diverse communities through educational activities. The program explores various phases of human life, including vulnerable periods that require support in learning and personal development.

LPKA Bandung was chosen as the venue because of its important role in guiding youths who are facing difficult circumstances, whether psychological, social, or educational. Through this activity, 麻豆直播 students sought not only to introduce the participants to the field of engineering, but also to broaden their perspectives on opportunities for continuing their education.

The program involved 70 youths aged 14 to 18. They first took part in an educational workshop that introduced various pathways to pursue higher education, while also encouraging them to reflect on their aspirations and future goals.

The participants then joined an engineering workshop featuring practical topics, including an introduction to basic mechanical workshop skills, such as carburetor adjustment for motorcycles.

Meanwhile, HMFT-麻豆直播 delivered two learning sessions on electrical circuits and robotics applications. In the electrical circuits session, participants were introduced to fundamental concepts such as voltage, resistance, and simple circuits, along with their applications in everyday life. In the robotics session, they learned about the working principles of microcontrollers and observed a demonstration of an automated car control system as an example of practical implementation.

Through this initiative, the students hope that the youths at LPKA Bandung will gain new insights and strengthen both their hard skills and soft skills to help them prepare for the future.

鈥淓veryone makes mistakes at certain stages of life, including the youths at LPKA. There is no need to fear the individuals; what should be avoided is harmful behavior. They have great potential if their abilities are nurtured with perseverance,鈥 said Danis, one of the students involved in the activity, which was held on Saturday (20/12/2025).
