Second, the findings indicated that student knowledge significantly higher in the posttest as compared to the pretest. Last, the dimension of Science came in the first rank and followed by Technology-Engineering and going on Mathematics that showed the degree of attitudes towards STEM. The conclusion that learning STEM was effective to increase students’ outcome in  knowledge aspect that gain score confirmed has high categorized. The students respond towards STEM for career are very positive.
