Abstract

This study explores the integration of real-life projects in chemistry education as a tool to foster students' innovative and creative thinking. By connecting theoretical chemistry content with practical, socially-relevant applications, learners are encouraged to approach problems from interdisciplinary and inventive perspectives. The article presents pedagogical strategies, case studies, and experimental data to highlight the positive impact of real-life project-based learning on students’ motivation, problem-solving abilities, and scientific creativity.
