This scientific study is aimed at analyzing technology challenge items among adolescent. This study was a quantitative study using questionnaire as an instrument for collecting data. The Rasch model is used to identify the most important challenges among adolescent. A total of 175 samples comprising 15 to 18 years old from three types of school were selected. A total of 76 technology challenge items are listed based on the Youth Challenge Model consisting of six dimensions. The findings show that the main challenged among adolescent are in the dimensions of creativity and innovation with average of 0.188 logits, followed by the dimensions of information and communication technology (ICT) 0.174 logits and the science and technology dimensions of 0.170 logits. The implication of this study illustrates that further actions needs to be done by the stakeholder in planning for adolescent development programs to expand their potential to continue to meet increasingly challenges globally.
