An optimal education infrastructure has not been evenly distributed, especially in underdeveloped villages in Indonesia. Based ondata, there are approximately five million childrenin Indonesia who could not obtain education are come from underdeveloped villages. One of the contributing factors is the difficulty accessingeducational facilities such as schools.As anactivealternative solution, by bringing the class tostudent environment in the village, is expected to answer directlythe issuewithout waiting for infrastructure development. The manifestation of this active solution is the provision of bag products, which is used to carry all learning needs and becomes a classroom setting for nature schools as a learning system in the village. Eventually, this product will be used by teachers who teach students in the village.The bags were produced from bamboo material, whichis easily available and produced independently in the village. There are some challenges encountered during this application, such as the values in the nature school and the physical character around the village. These challenges are further manifested in the design and function decisions of the bags. As a case study, this studyinvolves the community in Cisarua Village, Purwakarta, namely the World Nurani Foundation, which is currently developing the concept of “Village of Science”. The purpose of this concept isto harmonize non-formal education with the formal education system
