Abstract
One of the great giants and trailblazers in creativity research, engineering, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) education is Dr. David Cropley. To fully understand the extensive contributions by David, this chapter provides a “CREATIVE” overview of his academic background, research, and professional accomplishments: C-Creativity, R-Research, E-Education, A-Accomplishments, T-Teaching, I-Innovation, V-Villainy, and E-Enduring Contributions. This chapter also highlights the dynamic relationship that David has with his father Dr. Arthur Cropley, with whom he has many seminal creativity publications. David was born in South Australia in Adelaide to Arthur and Alison Cropley. He excelled in school as well as athletics throughout his formative education and higher education. David graduated from The University of Salford and went on to earn a doctoral degree from the University of South Australia. One of the profound figures in David’s life was his father Dr. Arthur Cropley, who is recognized for his contributions to creativity research, education, and learning. While David’s career is expansive from teaching and publishing to television, his contributions do not stop with this chapter since he is still actively engaged in creativity research with more contributions forthcoming.
