Creativity is a vital skill in technical education, particularly in practice-based disciplines that have strong cultural foundations. The aim of this research is to find the relationship of the competency of Science, Technology, Art, Mathematics, and Culture (STAMC) with creativity of students of the Javanese Traditional Hair Bun (sanggul ukel tekuk) profession. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and path analysis were used in a quantitative cross-sectional design based on matched student data from two cohorts at Universitas Negeri Surabaya. Science, technology, art, evaluations, and and evaluations. The results demonstrated a substantial positive correlation between creativity and STAMC competency. Descriptive cohort comparisons also indicated higher mean scores in the later cohort, although these differences should not be interpreted as evidence of a curriculum effect. The framework for the study's creative framework, technical technical technical interdisciplinary technical interdisciplinary investigation. Curriculum design, realistic assessment, and culturally situated learning for technical students may all benefit from the findings.
