ABSTRACT This study aims to describe teachers' perceptions of the STEM learning model and the implementation of project-based activities related to this approach in elementary schools. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of interviews with one of the senior teachers at Tambun Utara Elementary School. The results of the study show that teachers do not yet fully understand the concept of STEM even though they have not officially implemented it in the curriculum. In implementing the STEM learning model, the teacher has conducted project activities by creating a bridge from recycled materials, specifically straws, which indirectly integrates elements of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This activity has proven effective in enhancing students' engagement, creativity, and confidence in the learning process. However, there are some challenges in its implementation, primarily due to time constraints and limited availability of materials.
