Welcome to the Creative Science Classroom! Our goal is strengthening Creativity in Science Education. Join us on this exciting journey by exploring innovative, creative teaching materials in one of these Case Studies: Science Theater (ST), Junior Science Café (JSC) and Write a Science Opera (WASO). The Creative Science Classroom will be enriched with more cases in the near future.
