Modern learning using technology demands students to be have awareness in the use of technology on their daily life. As the answer to the problem, the concept of a traditional learning approach should be changed into a learning approach that integrates students- knowledge, performance, and skills. STEM learning is one of innovational approach that integrates students knowledge, skills, and performance towards technology and engineering design. This research aims to investigate the effect of STEM learning on students- science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) literacy in learning electricity concept. The method which used in this research was Weak Experimental method. The sample was taken randomly (n=16 students) of Private school in Bogor. The quantitative data of this research is gained through objective test, while the qualitative data was gained by observation sheet. According to the analysis of the research, it is obtained an improvement on students- STEM literacy, especially in technology, engineering, and mathematics literacy while students- scientific literacy shows negative improvement. The improvement of students- science, technology, engineering, and mathematics literacy obtained through normalized gain systematically by 0.22, 0.12, 0.03,and -0.02 categorized as low improvement. Even though students cannot relate the scientific concept occurs during the experiment, students are excited to conduct the project using Arduino-Protoboard experiment since they had an experience to use the lastest kind of technology.
