Abstract

Madrasah Raudhatul Muhajiri is a school located in Tangkit Village, Sungai Gelam District, Muaro Jambi Regency, students' extracurricular activities only consist of sports activities, scouts and spiritual activities, but these activities have not been able to show that students are not yet independent and productive. Therefore, this community service activity aims to encourage students to be productive and economically independent in aquascape making training activities. This activity was carried out on September 13, 2025 with training participants from grades X and XI of Madrasah Raudhatul Muhajirin. The method used in this activity is the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) method. There are 5 stages in this community service activity, including: 1. Preparation; 2. Implementation; 3. Training; 4. Monitoring and 5. Evaluation. The results show that students' knowledge of the components of making aquascapes is still very limited, but after participating in the training, students understand enough about what components are needed in making aquascapes and the types of ornamental fish used for aquascapes, as well as how to care for aquascapes. Based on the results of the training activities carried out on making aquascapes, that Madrasah Rauhdatul Muhajirin students need other extracurricular activities that can create new innovations in an effort to train students' independence and productivity.
