Abstract
This article examines the role of the STEAM approach in developing students' creative thinking in a digital learning environment. Interactive digital tools, simulation software, and problem-based learning methods were analyzed. The results showed that the STEAM approach has significant advantages over traditional teaching methods in developing creative thinking. Practical recommendations for implementing this approach in Uzbekistan are also provided.
