- Indonesia is threatened with natural disasters during this COVID-19 pandemic as it is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire. Future generations should be prepared to provide STEM literacy related to solving a real-world problem using their integrated science and knowledge of technology, engineering, and mathematics. The need to produce better educational quality leads us to STEM Project-based Learning. Therefore, this research investigated the effect of STEM Project-Based Learning on student’s STEM Literacy and Problem-Solving Skills. For the research, 30 7th grade students from one of junior high school in Bandung were chosen. The pre-experiment method with one group pre-test and post-test design in the form of multiple-choice and essay questions were used as the data collection tools. The data analysis showed the N-Gain score is 0.47 which categorized as medium improvement in STEM Literacy. Technology literacy was the highest improvement, while the Mathematical Literacy in the lowest. Nonetheless, the Problem-Solving skills N-gain score is 0.73 which categorized as high improvement. The highest improvement is in Idea-Finding, while the Fact-Finding on the lowest. Therefore, STEM Project-Based Learning is recommended to improve students’ STEM Literacy and Problem Solving Skills since they had the experience to use their integrated knowledge in solving a real-world problem
