In the study, by using the explanatory mixed method, firstly, quantitative data was taken and qualitative data were tried to be explained. In the first stage of the study, the pre-test and post-test results were examined in the group by using dependent groups t test. “Multidimensional 21st Century Skills Scale” was used as a pre-test and post-test tool. In the second stage of the study, student experiences for STEM application were revealed using the semi-structured interview form, which is one of the qualitative data collection methods. In the findings of the study, it was seen in the results of the analysis that the STEM approach contributed positively to 21st century skills. In addition, a significant difference was observed between the pre-test and post-test in five sub-dimensions in the scale. However, in the results of the interviews, it was stated that the students were enjoyable to study with STEM, increased communication within the group, and encouraged the student to research and think. It was also observed that some students had difficulties during the application, complained about the lack of time and had difficulty in designing.
