This study aims to explore in depth the application of edupreneurship in developing students' independence at SMP Negeri 2 Kedungwuni, Pekalongan Regency. The concept of edupreneurship integrates entrepreneurial principles into education to foster creative, innovative, and independent attitudes from an early age. Using a qualitative descriptive method through observation and interviews, the results of the study show that students responded very positively to practice-based learning materials and methods, such as simulations and games, which proved effective in increasing enthusiasm, active participation, self-confidence, and discipline. The school supports this initiative, despite facing challenges such as student character variations and the need for strengthening curriculum planning and teacher training. Overall, the implementation of edupreneurship has made a significant contribution in bridging theory and practice, and has successfully shaped an entrepreneurial mindset that is essential for students' future life readiness and independence development]]>
