This activity is a form of dedication to one of the important aspects of the Tri Darma of Higher Education, namely community service. Apart from fulfilling responsibilities, this activity aims to make a meaningful contribution to the development and application of knowledge in society, with the main focus on SMPIT Darul Hasani students. To achieve this goal, a combination of effective learning methods is used, namely expository and inquiry. The expository method is applied through oral delivery of material, providing a strong knowledge base about entrepreneurship and digital marketing. Meanwhile, the inquiry method encourages students to think critically and analytically, dig deeper into the concept of entrepreneurship, and analyze various types of businesses and innovative ideas. As a concrete example, the success story of Nadia Istikomah's meatball business "Bakso Cah Nogiri" is presented, which provides the idea that entrepreneurship can be started with easily accessible creative resources and ideas. Through this approach, it is hoped that there will be an increase in SMPIT Darul Hasani students' understanding of entrepreneurship and digital marketing.

Literacy is a person's ability to read and write, which contributes to the formation of a student's character. Health is defined as a condition in which a person can overcome challenges to achieve happiness both in this world and in the afterlife, which can be influenced by each person's character. Character is something that comes naturally to everyone. Family, school and society are some of the factors that shape a person's character, not innate character.

It is hoped that students can improve their understanding of literacy and maintain mental health. This activity also aims to provide solutions to social problems and improve the quality of education at SMPIT Permata Insani.
