This investigation was conducted as a quasi-experiment involving a sample size of 150 students selected through cluster sampling. Data collection was executed using standardized tests, with instrument validity ascertained through the Aiken index and instrument reliability determined via Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Data analysis was performed using multivariate analysis (MANOVA) and descriptive quantitative methods. The study's findings reveal a significant disparity in the mean scores of both learning motivation and student creativity. In conclusion, the implementation of project- based learning coupled with STEAM-based student worksheet analysis utilizing the ecoprint technique yields a substantial enhancement in learning motivation and student creativity. These findings underscore the success of employing STEAM-based worksheets in conjunction with the ecoprint method to foster students' motivation and creativity, as ecoprint inherently encompasses all STEAM components within the manufacturing process.

The 21st century emphasizes student-centered learning to enhance skills (Patresia et al., 2020). Creativity is a required skill, which involves the mental process of generating original ideas (Dinantika et al., 2019). Students are trained to possess high levels of creativity to develop, enrich, and elaborate on ideas and solve problems from different perspectives (Harizah et al., 2021). The quality of education is always being improved so that students can have good skills to compete in the world of work. Efforts to develop learning models are always being developed to provide opportunities for teachers to provide effective learning. Project-based learning is one of the development models of learning that can be used in the learning process. Creativity has become a focal point in the 21st century because it is highly needed to adapt to the advancements in science and technology. Learners who possess creativity can think critically and see problems from various angles, enabling them to have an open mindset when solving issues. Therefore, effective learning in schools occurs when there is a reciprocal communication between teachers and students. However, students often lack motivation, and their creativity remains undeveloped. They struggle to create something new and tend to imitate what they see. Many students also lack the initiative to solve problems. The creative potential an individual possesses represents a form of thinking that involves finding connections among existing elements or discovering new approaches to personal challenges.
