Teachers must be more creative in classroom learning through integrated learning in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). However, teachers' knowledge and skills regarding STEM learning still need to be improved, so it is rare for teachers to use STEM learning. Therefore, efforts are made to overcome these problems by providing training on science learning using a STEM approach to support the implementation of the Merdeka curriculum. The training participants were 35 science teachers of SMP Bontang and the place of service at the Autism Center, Bontang City. This STEM learning training was carried out on 14-18 February 2023 with as many as 17 hours of lessons, and it aimed to make teachers more familiar with STEM learning in the Merdeka curriculum and able to apply the STEM approach in learning. The result of the training is that teachers can compile effective STEM learning tools following the learning outcomes in the Merdeka curriculum on water filter materials. This can be seen in the response results from training participants reaching 90% good and opinions from participants that the training is very useful and more familiar with STEM learning. ]]>
