Various strategies can increase students' creative thinking. One of them is a project-based learning strategy. However, in practice, only a few teachers succeeded, especially in implementation procedures.

This research was conducted in class 4 SDN Kebonagung II Kraksan Probolinggo. The research method used is case study-based qualitative. Teacher and student research informants. Data analysis uses Miles and Huberman techniques which consist of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The research results show that. This strategy is implemented by completing a project; students present their findings to other students. To see its success, it describes the initial conditions before implementing the strategy: less than optimal learning and student creativity that still needs to be higher. For this reason, learning is carried out through group discussions and project work.
