Abstract

This article explores the development of creativity skills in primary pupils, with a specific focus on the role of Technology Science education. Creativity is a crucial skill set that cultivates critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation, necessary for success in the modern world. Technology Science, or STEM education, provides a conducive environment for fostering creativity in young learners. By encouraging curiosity, promoting problem-solving and critical thinking, facilitating collaboration, and providing hands-on experiences, Technology Science nurtures the creative potential of primary pupils. Strategies such as creating an open and supportive environment, promoting exploration, encouraging divergent thinking, and integrating arts and technology can effectively enhance creativity skills. Educators play a vital role in creating an environment that stimulates and nurtures creativity, thereby preparing primary pupils for a future that demands innovative thinking.
