Then the researcher analyzes the workshop-based STEM learning process and validates the effectiveness of workshop-based STEM learning to enhance students’ creative thinking and ability. The result shows that the Chinese students’ STEM satisfaction is generally at a high level, and there is no significant gender difference.
