Abstract: In today’s digital age, educators must employ innovative and creative approaches to engage students in collaborative and interdisciplinary STEM education. Integrating technology tools like Photoshop, Audacity, and social media platforms such as Instagram offers students the chance to acquire and apply vital skills in real-world contexts. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a technology-enhanced educational project where high school students collaboratively build a formal school site, radio, and journal, fostering communication, collaboration, and project management skills. Drawing on research highlighting students’ autonomy and technology integration in education, this study examines the project’s impact on student learning outcomes. It investigates how the project influences student engagement, collaboration, and creativity. The use of technology in the project is expected to boost student motivation and enable personalized learning, ultimately enhancing the educational experience. The research questions explore the effects of the technology-enhanced project on student engagement, collaboration, and creativity within the context of building a school site, radio, and journal. Additionally, the study aims to understand students’ perceptions of the project, including their satisfaction, motivation, and self-efficacy. The findings will suggest improvements to support STEM education and enhance student learning outcomes.
