Chemtrepreneur, entrepreneur in chemistry, is the way to introduce the idea of commercial chemistry innovation to students, taking them out of the classroom and assessment situation. By combining an innovative idea and social issues, students are given the chance to become job creators and increase their income. Students in this class have the opportunity to convert a classroom-based innovation into an income, creating sustainable living, while studying. In this study, we implemented an innovation in chemistry - the colloid experiment. Students were asked to make hand sanitizer using natural chemicals, then create the product branding. We conducted a questionnaire to find out students' level of motivation at the end of the experiment and compared it with their daily teaching - learning process. The result of this study shows that there is a significant difference in their level of motivation when engaging in the entrepreneurial activity and their daily teaching - learning process. © 2024 Author(s).
