This study seeks to evaluate the impact of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model, facilitated by mind mapping media, on enhancing students' creativity in science education. This research employs a quasi-experimental approach utilizing a nonequivalent control group design. This research was carried out in fourth grade at State Elementary Madrasah 2 in Bandar Lampung. Data acquisition via assessments, interviews, and observations. The analysis of data involves quantitative assessment utilizing the independent samples t-test. The study's results demonstrate a substantial and favorable impact of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model, facilitated by mind mapping media, on students' creativity in science subjects. The findings stem from the independent sample t-test, revealing a significance value of 0.000, which is less than the significance threshold of 0.05. Moreover, the creativity of students engaged in the mind mapping-assisted project-based learning model was quantitatively superior to that of students involved in conventional learning. The substantial disparity in the average posttest scores between the experimental group (mean = 16.82) and the control group (mean = 12.18) is apparent. The efficacy of the Mind Mapping-assisted PjBL model in fostering creativity derives from the synergy between the student-centered learning paradigm and the application of visual cognitive tools. Project-based learning fosters a genuine and demanding educational atmosphere, motivating students to engage in exploration, collaboration, and problem-solving. Mind mapping is an effective tool for promoting non-linear thinking, visually organizing complex ideas, and integrating the brain's logical and creative functions.
