This paper describes an innovative method for teaching computer science in general high school education, illustrated with the example of introductory programming. Analyzing the literature in CS education research we found that creativity is rarely regarded, especially in high school education; although a few authors describe promising results from applying creativity. We designed and applied a framework for designing creative CS lessons based on a set of creativity criteria. The conducted teaching unit on introductory programming fulfilled the expectations: the students learned with high motivation and interest, the learning objectives were met and the students' picture of CS improved
