he authority of the Province of North Sumatra, has 111 students across elementary, junior high, and senior high school levels. SLBN Tanjungbalai is led by Mrs. Resti, S.Pd., supported by 13 teachers and 1 administrative staff member. This media integrates an interactive kinesthetic system, binary Braille sensors, and artificial intelligence (AI) capable of recognizing Braille letter patterns based on tactile input and providing real-time voice feedback. Braille letters are converted into six-dot binary codes (Braille-cell), such as A (100000), B (110000), C (100100), D (100110), up to Z (101011). These binary combinations are detected by tactile sensors or push buttons, then processed by an ESP32S connected to a 2004 LCD with I2C, a DFPlayer Mini, and a speaker to produce the corresponding letter sounds. The socialization activity was conducted at SDLB Negeri Kota Tanjungbalai, involving companion teachers and eight blind students. The activities included device demonstration, usage training, and interactive trials. The results show positive responses from both teachers and students, as the media enhances motivation, accuracy, and speed in learning Braille letters. RICKI-Braille proved to be more interactive and adaptive compared to conventional Braille learning media.

Abstrak: Media Reading And Interaction Console With Kinetic Intelligence – Braille versi prototipe bertujuan memperkenalkan inovasi teknologi pendidikan bagi peserta didik tunanetra di SLB Negeri Kota Tanjungbalai. Sekolah yang berada di bawah naungan Provinsi Sumatera Utara ini memiliki 111 siswa dari jenjang SD, SMP, hingga SMA. SLBN Tanjungbalai dipimpin oleh Ibu Resti, S.Pd., dengan dukungan 13 guru dan 1 tenaga tata usaha. Media ini memadukan sistem kinestetik interaktif, sensor Braille biner, dan kecerdasan buatan (AI) yang mampu mengenali pola huruf Braille berdasarkan input titik-titik taktil, kemudian memberikan umpan balik suara secara real-time. Huruf Braille dikonversi menjadi kode biner enam titik (Braille-cell), misalnya A (100000), B (110000), C (100100), D (100110), dan seterusnya hingga Z (101011). Sensor taktil atau push button membaca kombinasi biner tersebut, lalu memprosesnya melalui ESP32S yang terhubung dengan LCD 2004 + I2C, DFPlayer Mini, dan speaker untuk menghasilkan suara huruf yang sesuai. Sosialisasi dilakukan di SDLB Negeri Kota Tanjungbalai dengan melibatkan guru pendamping dan delapan siswa tunanetra. Kegiatan mencakup demonstrasi alat, pelatihan penggunaan, serta uji coba interaktif. Hasilnya, guru dan siswa memberikan respons positif karena media ini meningkatkan motivasi, ketepatan, dan kecepatan belajar huruf Braille. RICKI-Braille terbukti lebih interaktif dan adaptif dibanding media Braille konvensional.

ough the utilization of agricultural waste. The main problem faced by the school is the lack of integration of environmental potential into the curriculum, resulting in limited opportunities for children to gain direct experience in processing local resources. The activities were carried out through socialization, teacher and student training, implementation of simple technologies, mentoring, as well as monitoring and evaluation. The training materials included compost production, handicrafts made from agricultural waste such as dried banana leaves and corn husks, and digital promotion through social media platforms. The results of the program indicate improvements in three main aspects. First, teachers and students demonstrated increased knowledge regarding the concepts of ecotourism and waste management. Second, there was a positive shift in attitudes, reflected in stronger environmental concern and higher interest in entrepreneurship. Third, skills in processing agricultural waste developed, although they still require continuous improvement. Furthermore, community involvement contributed to the establishment of a holistic, empowered, and sustainable educational ecosystem. This program underscores the role of Sekolah Kampung Alam as both an environmental-based ecotourism education center and a medium for community empowerment.
