This study aims to enhance primary school students' entrepreneurial skills by integrating STEM education. Employing a qualitative action research design, the study involved 19 fourth-grade students (aged 9–10) selected via convenience sampling. Over a six-week period totaling 18 instructional hours, researchers implemented two STEM-based activities aligned with the study's objectives. Data were gathered from multiple sources, including video recordings, e-portfolios, student journals, researcher journals, and student-generated artifacts. The research was guided by a framework encompassing 22 entrepreneurial skills, categorized into three domains: knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Findings indicate that while students did not demonstrate complete competence in all areas, particularly within the entrepreneurial aptitude domain, they showed notable development in their understanding, practical skills, and attitudes related to entrepreneurship.
