Abstract The density of Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae in an environment reflects the potential risk of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) transmission. This study explores the relationship between Aedes aegypti population density and the risk of DHF transmission, especially in school and residential environments in Ternate City. The objectives of the study were to 1) determine the density of Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae in two elementary schools and one junior high school and 2) analyze the effectiveness of DHF prevention education through the application of a mini-project-based learning method called "mosquito detective." This descriptive research method has two steps: The first step involves using OI and CI to measure the number of Aedes spp. mosquito larvae in the school environment. The second step involves using pre- and post-tests to gauge students' understanding and knowledge of DHF prevention efforts through the design of mini-project-based learning media. The results showed that the density of mosquito larvae in elementary and middle schools was moderate to high, with a density figure (DF) of 5-7. Based on the ovitrap index, the density of larvae in SDN 50 is 88%, while the container index is 23%. In SD Alkhairat 05, the OI is 80%, and the CI is 20%. In SMPN 3, OI is 53%, and CI is 33%. The pre-test and post-test analysis, which examined the introduction and prevention of dengue fever through implementing the mini-project-based learning method "mosquito detective," revealed a significant increase in all schools. Specifically, SDN 50 saw an increase from 57% to 90%, SD Alkhairat saw an increase from 53% to 96%, and SMPN 3 saw an increase from 68 to 100%. The implementation of the mini-project-based learning method "mosquito detective" significantly increased students' knowledge about efforts to recognize and prevent dengue fever.
