The ASEAN Plus Three Junior Science Odyssey (APT JSO) brings together gifted middle school students to tackle global challenges such as climate change. Over one week, participants collaborate in international teams to analyze environmental issues and present their findings. This study evaluates changes in Global Competence and Attitudes Toward Science before and after the program using a mixed-methods approach. Pre- and post-program surveys revealed statistically significant improvements (p < 0.05) in Global Competence, particularly in self-efficacy on global issues, perspective-taking, adaptability, intercultural awareness, and environmental awareness. However, the program had a limited effect on participants’ attitudes toward science. The findings highlight the importance of integrating cross-cultural collaboration into STEM education and provide recommendations for further enhancing global competency development in gifted science programs.
