This paper describes the challenge of Teaching Critical Thinking to a class of physics students at TCI, The College for Technology in the fall semester of 2000. Besides achieving its goal of helping students to think critically, teaching critical thinking provides fun and students find it quite rewarding. Students are encouraged to work on creativity throughout the semester, in class, in laboratory experiments, on homework problems and in the creation of examinations.
