Abstract	To compete in the global workforce, educators know that their students must be well educated in science, engineering, technology, and mathematics (STEM) subjects. But, as outlined in the NETS, they must also develop the key skills of creativity and innovation. How can educators teach the typically left-brained STEM subjects along with the more right-brained skill of creativity? Is it even possible to teach this seemingly magical concept called "innovation"? The author's experience teaching nearly 1,500 elementary school students in public schools has shown her that one possible answer lies in teaching digital art or digital design (vector graphics, 3D design, and computer programming). In this article, the author discusses how to engage elementary students' artistic minds and teach STEM subjects at the same time with a digital design program. (Contains 7 online resources.) (ERIC).
