This study aims to explore "the impact of activities that combine STEAM with local environmental consciousness on university students’ pro-environmental behavior and scientific creativity". There are 66 students participated in this study and were divided into a control group and an experimental group. The teaching activity design of this study is centered on "designing livable housing in Taiwan," and a total of four projects were designed. Each unit was taught for 2 hours a week, for a period of 4 weeks. The experimental group added videos on local environmental consciousness such as local disasters news. All participants were required to fill out the "Scientific Creativity Questionnaire" and "Pro-Environmental Behavior Scale" before and after the teaching activities. The results of the study showed that the posttest performance of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group. In addition, after participating in the teaching activities, the performance of scientific creativity of the two groups of students was significantly higher than that of the pre-test, showing that both teaching activities can improve the performance of scientific creativity of university students, but the two groups did not reach a significant difference. The further implications will be reported in conference.
