AI-Generated STEM Activities: The Impact of the Activities on the Scientific Creativity of Gifted Students

This study aims to answer the questions: "Does the implementation of AI-generated STEM activities have an impact on students' levels of scientific creativity?" and "What are the students' views and experiences regarding AI- generated STEM activities?". The study group consists of 49 gifted 4th-grade students enrolled in a Science and Art Center in Bursa, Turkey during the 2023-2024 academic year. Utilizing a case study analysis, the research demonstrates that AI-generated STEM activities significantly enhance students' scientific creativity levels. Additionally, most students expressed positive views about the activities and stated that they developed their creativity, gained various skills and felt like engineers due to their involvement in design. The "Scientific Creativity Scale," adapted for use in Turkish context by Aktamış (2007), and a semi-structured interview form were employed in the research. This study highlights the potential of artificial intelligence in designing STEM activities and offers a new approach to develop students' scientific creative thinking skills.
