Abstract
BCG economy model-integrated STEM education has been widely promoted as a significant driver of Thai education, with its three dimensions of bioeconomy, circular economy, and green economy serving as the main features of integrated STEM activities in promoting learners’ competencies. This academic article provides a model for BCG economy model-integrated STEM learning activities centered around the theme “The Right Cup! for Valentine’s Day”. The purpose of this BCG model-integrated activity was to create the formulation of a drink which was made from local ingredients. The seven steps of BCG economy model-integrated STEM learning activities include: 1) identifying the problem; 2) familiarizing the nature of innovation; 3) analyzing the potential of innovation in practical use; 4) linking innovation to stakeholders; 5) defining the steps and outcomes throughout the task; 6) testing and evaluating the innovation; and 7) reflecting on the learning for innovation adjustment. These steps promote integration among the learners’ community, economy, and local innovation, ultimately enabling learners to meaningfully apply STEM-BCG to their lives.
