This paper examines the significance of nurturing creativity in students and provides strategies to develop creative potential. By analyzing the intersection of cognitive science, pedagogy, and technology, the article outlines how creativity can be cultivated in every student. It explores emerging educational practices like project-based learning, collaborative problem-solving, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) to enhance creative thinking. The paper also highlights the role of growth mindset, curiosity, and environmental factors in fostering creativity. Ultimately, the article proposes that nurturing creativity should be a core focus of modern education to prepare students for an increasingly complex and dynamic world.
