This research aims to apply the Ethno-STEM Integrated Project-Based Learning to develop students' life skills and entrepreneurship. The research subjects are undergraduate and master students of the UNNES Postgraduate chemistry education program. The Ethno-STEM integrated project learning is applied to the Natural Products course for secondary metabolites from Indonesian tropical forest plants and the innovative chemistry learning course in the Chemistry Education Masters Program. This research is limited to the design of chemical Batik patterns for undergraduate students and the manufacture of herbal teas from Indonesian tropical forest plants for chemical education master's students. Tropical forest tea is made of yellow root tea and Taxus sumatrana, which have anti-hepatitis and anticancer properties based on the knowledge of the Minang people. This research analyzes learning outcomes and learning plans for the two courses. Those courses' content and context analysis are the backgrounds for developing an Ethno-STEM integrated Project-Based Learning. The Ethno-STEM integrated Project-Based Learning model then developed again to the SUDARMIN Syntax. The learning model developed is applied to 15 students, where students are divided into two groups, namely the Yellow Roots and Taxus sumatrana groups. In practice, each group was assigned to make some tea glasses from the yellow root and Taxus plant. Besides that each group also design the patterns of Batik by the chemical structure of Taxus and yellow root Batik. The results of this research after project work, it is concluded that (a) an ethno-STEM project learning model design has been produced with the Sudarmin syntax, (b) two Batik pattern designs from yellow roots and Taxus have been produced which are worthy of sale as student life skills, (c) herbal tea products from yellow roots and Taxus have been produced which are also suitable as life skills products. © 2023 Author(s).
