This edited volume brings together international research that
explores children’s creativity in STEM inquiry. It takes the
position that creativity is relevant in all aspects of life and is
essential for adaptable and innovative thinking. The research
informed content of the book, highlights both challenges and
opportunities for growing children’s creativity. The book focuses
on fostering children’s creativity and natural curiosity in the
world around them through STEM inquiry. Through STEM inquiry,
children are learning through a cross- disciplinary approach where
they apply concepts from multiple fields as they are thinking
creatively, problem solving and constructing solutions. Educators
play a critical role in encouraging children’s creativity by
modelling creativity, providing creative projects for children and
importantly, establishing rich culturally connected environments
where children have the resources, conditions and opportunities for
acting and thinking creatively. The book provides a lens for
looking at children’s creativity in a range of different cultural
settings. It offers insight and guidance to future research and
will build educators’ capacity for developing children’s
creative practices.
