The 21st century brings many new challenges and
opportunities, mainly driven by technological advancements,
globalization, and a rapidly changing workforce landscape.
The main goal of education is no longer academic success but
also equipping students with skills called 21st century skills.
The 21st century skills needed to solve complex 21st century
problems such as net zero challenges. Net zero aims to
achieve carbon neutrality by balancing greenhouse gas
emissions and removal from the atmosphere. The research
aims to develop, implement, and analyze the effects of
project based learning (PjBL)-science, technology,
enggineering, and mathemathics (STEM) learning on
students' 21st century skills to address the net zero challenge.
The research also examined how students respond to
renewable energy learning using the PjBL-STEM model
through a solar-powered tractor project supported by the 4D
frame. This study used a conversion mixed methods
approach to transform qualitative data into quantitative data
using established rubrics. The results showed that PjBL-STEM
learning associated with environmental issues enhances
students' 21st century skills and significantly affects the
teaching of students' critical thinking. Meanwhile, students
showed good performance in communication, collaboration,
and creativity skills through discussion activities, teamwork,
presentations, and engineering desain process.
