Strategy to Increase Student Creativity and Understanding Through Renewable Energy Solar Toy Car Assembly

Abstract

This study aims to enhance students' creativity and comprehension of renewable energy by engaging them in solar-powered toy car assembly activities. The project-based learning approach directly integrates theory and practice. Students assemble a toy car that uses solar panels as an energy source to understand the working principles of renewable energy. The discussion focuses on students' learning process, increased creativity in designing and assembling, and their understanding of solar energy. Results showed that this method effectively increased students' motivation to learn, creativity, and understanding of renewable energy. In conclusion, assembling solar toy cars is an innovative learning strategy that can be applied in engineering and science education to support the development of student competencies in renewable energy. Implementing this method also fosters awareness of the importance of using environmentally friendly energy sources in everyday life
