Digitalization in industrial revolution 4.0 era has many impacts towards all aspects of life. Massive technology advancement shifts industrial demands in Indonesia from quantitative to qualitative demands. These qualitative demands can be interpreted that today’s industry workforce not only need technique competencies but also must have good Computational Thinking (CT) which is the pillar of collaboration, communication, creativity, and problem-solving skills. This issue did not balance with the enhancement of cognitive skills of Indonesians, especially youth or millennial generation. Millennial generation required to overcome multilevel challenges to improve thinking skills particularly on individual level. The low level of intrinsic motivation in using computational thinking to solve its problem became one of millennial culture characteristics. One of the solutions is cultivate student’s intrinsic motivation to use CT by utilize Ikigai concept on teaching and learning activities from early grade. The Ikigai role as motivation template has been endure for millennia and proven, if used properly, to be most important factor that help eastern culture people achieve self-actualization. This study aims to develop instructional design that include Ikigai concept to support the achievement of intellectual competencies. Product development is done by Research and Development (R&D) Method with Akker procedure scheme. Product expected to improve students CT in accordance to standard needed in industrial 4.0 era. At this point, we currently at Empirical Testing phase. As expected, we got good response from teacher for product’s ease of use and provide clear assessment of students CT Skills. Student that can be described as skilled programmer often have poor communication or collaboration skills with societies. However, when the students have clear life-goal, those lack of social skills are gradually improved. Otherwise, student with good social skills but has poor technique (coding), become more motivated to pursue computing knowledge.
