Integrated IoT-Based Snakehead Fish Farming Initiative for Indonesian Migrant Workers: A Hybrid Community Service Program

Abstract

The online seminar on Integrated IoT-Based Snakehead Fish Farming signifies a pivotal initiative for Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI), aiming to enhance their knowledge and skills in aquaculture and IoT technology. Facilitated through an interactive virtual platform, the seminar exhibited a substantial improvement in PMI's understanding of traditional farming practices and the integration of IoT devices. The virtual format proved adept at transcending geographical constraints, providing accessible and engaging learning experiences. Beyond skill enhancement, the seminar fostered a supportive community for PMI. Despite the virtual setting, robust networking opportunities emerged through discussion forums and collaborative projects, addressing the isolation often experienced by migrant workers. Real-time feedback mechanisms allowed dynamic adjustments, ensuring the seminar remained pertinent and responsive to participant needs. In conclusion, the online seminar not only empowered PMI with practical skills but also nurtured a resilient and interconnected community. This success underscores the efficacy of virtual platforms in addressing the multifaceted needs of migrant workers, setting a promising precedent for future online empowerment initiatives.
