We present the results of a pilot study relating creative achievement and academic performance in introductory computer science courses. The experimental CS1 course was based on the Java-based Media Computing approach, with some deviations to emphasize concepts of object-oriented programming. Students' creative achievement was measured quantitatively using the Creative Achievement Questionnaire, a reliable and valid instrument. The study data comprises questionnaire results along with lab scores, exam scores, course grade, GPA, ethnicity, and gender for fifteen students, including four CS majors and eleven non-CS majors. No significant relationship was found between creative achievement and either GPA or course grade, although some more fine-grained relationships were discovered between creative achievement and specific kinds of assignments. A discussion of these relationships is provided, along with implications for practice and recommendations for future work.
