This strategic project, funded by the Omani Ministries of Education and Higher Education, Innovation, and Research, focuses on designing innovative educational units that integrate entrepreneurial education and future skills. It aims to evaluate their impact on 10th-grade students' creative problem-solving abilities, entrepreneurial thinking, and intent. The study uses a quasi-method approach to assess how these units influence students' ability to think creatively and adopt an entrepreneurial mindset. The research involves randomly assigned experimental and control groups, with data collected using various instruments to measure creative problem-solving, entrepreneurial thinking, and intent. Aligned with Oman's Vision 2040, this study contributes to educational innovation by proposing a model that incorporates entrepreneurial education into the science curriculum. The expected outcomes offer significant insights into curriculum development, promoting future competencies entrepreneurial skills, and fostering a mindset centered on creativity, innovation, and leadership. The research has the potential to shape educational policies, emphasizing the critical role of equipping students with the necessary skills to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving global landscape. At the conference, we plan to present our findings, offer practical insights into designing and implementing entrepreneurial education, and discuss the broader implications for educational policy and practice. Our presentation will highlight how these interventions can enhance students' problem-solving abilities, entrepreneurial attitudes, and readiness for future challenges, contributing to meaningful educational advancements.
