Abstract	In this study, the effect of STEM education on the creativity of 5-year-old children was examined. This article presents the relationship between STEM education and creativity in early years of childhood. The semi-experimental method with pretest-posttest-control group is used to observe the difference of creativity scores between study group and control group. 'Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking Figural A Form and Figural B Form' were used as data collection tools in the research. As a result of the research, a statistically significant difference was found between the experimental and control group Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking pretest/ posttest total scores (p < 0.05). The results revealed that the effect of STEM education on the creativity of 5-year-old children attending kindergarten is positive and this effect is permanent. (As Provided).
