In the era of industrial revolution 4.0, creativity is a key factor to face the challenges and opportunities of the increasingly complex development of science and technology. This requires the world of education, especially those located in the wetland environment to develop student creativity in exploring and maximizing the potential of the surrounding wetland environment. This study aims to determine the effect of STEM-based learning on the level of scientific creativity of students in solving renewable energy problems in the wetland environment. This research has involved 45 students who have applied Physics courses. The research method used is qualitative and quantitative methods (mixed methods) to determine the level of student creativity based on creativity review as 4P (Person, Process, Product, and Press). The results showed that the level of student creativity was influenced by STEM-based learning; where creativity is a key factor in the integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and its application in solving problems in the wetland environment.
