At last, the relevant extents and the relevant factors were analyzed between college students for extra-curricular activities in science and technology and creativity. The interview was also done for knowing more about the participation in extra-curricular activities that have a great impact on improving enhancing scientific research capacity, learning scientific methods and experiencing the innovative process. The results indicates that the students who participated in extra-curricular activities and did not participate in extra-curricular activities would have some differences in the four creativity factors(open-mindedness, independence and progress, exploration and experiment, tolerance ambiguity) and four creativity motivation factor (extrinsic motivation, attitude of innovation, sensitiveness and alleviating pressures).
