Abstract
This study aimed to develop 22nd century skills through the integration of STEAM project in chemistry learning. The study involved the thirty three of year-11 students. The STEAM integration was implemented in the teaching of colloidal system through a project-based learning. The research employed a qualitative approach to explore the integration of STEAM in chemistry and students- 22nd century skills development. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, reflective journals, and chemistry concept test. Students designed an innovation project with the integration of STEAM in developing smoke absorber as the solution of the smoke pollution occur now a days. The study results were analysed based on the pattern themes found in multiple data sources. It shows students developed their critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication skills, then caring of environmental problems (5C), in addition to information, media, and technology skills. The study face challenges of integrating STEAM in chemistry learning with in empowering student, time resources and also to provide the contextual learning to raise the students- environmental awareness need to be explored
