This research aims to develop activities for promoting STEM education for secondary school level. It seeks to develop STEM activities, promote the learning of secondary students, and support teachers involving in this project. So far, 10 STEM activities have been developed and implemented among secondary students. They aim to help build conceptual understanding of scientific content as well as application of the content to real life. In addition, they aim to elaborate the connection between this content and other disciplines. The results show that participating students gain better conceptual understanding as well as more positive attitude towards science. Furthermore, a professional learning community of teachers from extended educational opportunity schools in Nakhon Pathom has been created, which helps strengthen the teachers academically and collaboratively in respect of personal development of effective learning management.
