The rapid advancement of digital technology requires primary school teachers to possess competencies in integrating technology into classroom instruction, including the use of educational robotics. However, many teachers still lack the knowledge and practical skills needed to implement robotics-based learning. This community service program aimed to improve teachers' knowledge and skills in understanding basic robotics concepts, assembling and programming simple robots, and integrating robotics into STEM-based learning aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum. The program employed a participatory training method combined with an experiential learning approach consisting of needs assessment, lectures, demonstrations, hands-on workshops, mentoring, and evaluation. Thirty primary school teachers from the Teachers Working Group (KKG) and Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Teachers Working Group (KKMI) in Bogor participated in the program. Evaluation was conducted using pre-tests, post-tests, observation sheets, and participant satisfaction questionnaires. The results indicated an increase in the average score from 58.40 to 86.70, with an N-Gain of 0.68 (moderate category). Observation results showed that more than 80% of participants were able to assemble, program, and operate simple robots independently. Furthermore, participant satisfaction reached 92.4%, indicating that the training effectively enhanced teachers' competencies. Therefore, robotics training can serve as an effective strategy to strengthen teachers' professional competencies while supporting the implementation of STEM education and the Merdeka Curriculum in primary schools
