Abstract

Environmental awareness and entrepreneurial education are essential components of sustainable learning, particularly in the context of Indonesian Schools Abroad. However, many students have limited opportunities to apply these values through practical, contextual activities. This study aims to develop and implement a project-based learning model utilizing household waste to enhance students’ creativity, process skills, and environmental responsibility. The research employed the ADDIE development model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and questionnaires involving 10 students and several teachers. The findings indicate that engaging students in household waste utilization projects effectively improves their ability to design economically valuable products, collaborate, and think critically. The feasibility test by experts yielded a “very good” category with a mean score of 88.5%, while students demonstrated positive engagement and motivation throughout the activities. It can be concluded that project-based learning through household waste utilization is a feasible and effective strategy to promote green education and entrepreneurship in international Indonesian school settings.
