<![CDATA[Abstract: The Implementation of the campus teaching independent learning program from the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Batch II provides opportunities for students to add insight and gain experience in helping the teaching and learning process in elementary schools. Among the target partners is SDN Kedungluk 2, Candi District, Regency. Based on initial observations and direct interaction with students in classroom learning, it is known that students are less enthusiastic and less motivated in learning, making it difficult for teachers to deliver material. This resulted in the condition of the class being not conducive. That's why the PBL (Project Based Learning) model is applied because this model has proven to be successful in making students enthusiastic and competitive in their learning because it involves more exploration, interpretation, synthesis and information to produce various forms of learning outcomes which apparently get a positive response from students. PBL activities carried out included, among others, compiling a cooperation tree, learning the properties of light, collage of heroes, education about covid-19, providing life skill materials, teaching students to use laptops & Microsoft word. Learning that involves a lot of student activities is proven to make students more enthusiastic in learning. Learning by doing is in line with this PBL learning.
