About This Collection
The Creativity and STEM collection features episodes with educators and scholar-practitioners who share their experiences designing and implementing STEM-based projects that foster creativity in the classroom. Some episodes focus on creativity within individual STEM disciplines—science, technology, engineering, or math—while others explore interdisciplinary approaches that connect these subjects through real-world problem solving. From hands-on experiments to inquiry-driven design challenges, this collection highlights practical strategies and inspiring stories that blend content mastery with creative thinking. Whether you’re aiming to deepen subject-specific instruction or spark cross-disciplinary innovation, these conversations offer valuable insights to enrich your teaching practice.
