• This study aims to explore the effects of the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) creative learning method to build thepneumatic propeller ship while applying STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) knowledge among Taiwanesefemale high school students. The subjects were 70 female students from a high school in Pingtung, Taiwan. An online platform wascreated and served as the TRIZ creative learning environment for the pneumatic propeller ship project. The students were providedwith opportunities to discuss, share, and integrate their knowledge. Questionnaires and focus group interviews were conducted fordata collection and analysis. The findings of this study revealed that (1) the STEM & TRIZ integrated instruction model cansystematically promote STEM knowledge integration and application; (2) applying TRIZ creative learning to STEM knowledgeshow positively influences on students’ learning; (3) the STEM & TRIZ integrated instruction model can enhance students’ learningattitudes and interests; (4) the STEM & TRIZ integrated instruction model can enhance students’ creativity and efficiency andcultivate students’ innovative skills; and (5) applying TRIZ creative learning to STEM knowledge positively influences the students’creative learning.
