This presentation describes case studies for cultivation of creativity and innovation in the STEM classroom, fully integrated with practice and honing of critical thinking skills. The approach lends itself well for the flipped classroom as well as online learning platforms. The case studies demonstrate the utility of the approach, preparing STEM graduates for the future through cultivation of creativity and innovation, integrated with critical thinking. It reviews prior experience and future perspectives in the field, outlining learning paradigms and student feedback to‘ close the loop of learning’, to maximise educational and learning experiences through critical thinking, learning from nature’ s evolutionary paradigms, and applying design thinking approaches to the most intractable problems related to human health and well being. Insodoing the approach provides a path to address most challenging research and practical problems to improve human health and wellbeing throughout life.
