Abstract: STEM learning activities aided students to learn science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This encouraged learners to develop the scientific skills and attitudes in dealing with disasters and make them engage in the teaching and learning process in DRRR. This study aims to determine learners’ engagement in disaster readiness and risk reduction (DRRR) utilizing stem-based learning activities. A quantitative method was used using an engagement questionnaire scale. Results revealed that the developed STEM-based learning activities show significant impact to learners’ learning engagement on DRRR (2 tailed= 0.007; α =0.05). The collaboration and teamwork involved in disaster-related activities help students gain a deeper understanding of real-life situations. By working together, students become more innovative and learn to create prototypes based on scientific principles to address disaster-related issues in school. This hands-on, contextualized approach empowers students to develop solutions that directly impact their lives. The various stages of STEM-based learning activities further engage students, making the learning process more meaningful and effective. The activity encourages students to improve their planning skills by testing and refining prototypes. Through self-reflection and peer feedback, students can enhance their ideas and create better solutions. STEM-based learning becomes more effective when students are actively engaged in DRRR process. Teachers play a key role in ensuring that the stages of the activity are followed, helping students achieve their learning objectives and produce improved prototypes.
