STEM activities prepared by the researcher were applied to the experimental group students for seven weeks, while the control group students were taught a course in accordance with the current curriculum. At the end of the term, TCTT was applied to the groups as a post-test and eight students who were selected voluntarily from the experimental group were interviewed. The data obtained from the TCTT were analyzed with a statistical program. It was concluded that the change in the pre-tests of the TCTT was found significant in the verbal category, while there was no significance in the change in the figural category. Content analysis was conducted for the interviews with the students and it was concluded that STEM activities contributed to the creative thinking of the students according to the students' opinions.
