This document discusses how curiosity and passion can fuel creativity in gifted students. It encourages nurturing students' natural curiosity through exploration, questioning, and hands-on learning experiences. Providing challenges, failures, and opportunities to learn from mistakes can help students deepen their understanding of various topics and disciplines. Extending learning experiences outside the classroom through virtual field trips, guest speakers, and collaborative projects can further stimulate students' interests. The goal is to help students develop a growth mindset and lifelong passion for learning.
