In the current era, learning adheres to the 2013 curriculum which includes HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) consisting of critical thinking competencies, creativity and innovation, communication skills, collaboration skills and selfconfidence. These five things need to be trained or improved for deaf children so that they can take part in learning well. So learning media products are made that can be used to recognize letters and numbers. This Learning Media is equipped with sign language to support the understanding of deaf children in addition, it is packaged with an attractive appearance so that deaf children are interested in learning it. Often in daily teaching and learning activities students still often experience problems in remembering the material being taught both in the introduction of letters and also the introduction of numbers and what becomes an obstacle for students learning must be done repeatedly so that they can remember it and can really understand what it means. being taught and also they are sometimes bored and lazy in learning. From the problems that occur above, it is necessary to have a learning media that can help children with disabilities, especially the deaf, especially for the introduction of numbers and letters so that they can easily understand and understand letters and numbers. not bored, bored and lazy in learning. Learning media in the form of an android application so that it can be used on smartphones which are currently very widely used by both teachers and parents of students with disabilities.

This paper focuses on unlocking the creative potential of architecture students through an exploration of the Four C model of creativity. This model extends the traditional understanding of creativity and offers a comprehensive framework for fostering innovation in architecture. It introduces "mini-c" and "Pro-c" dimensions, highlighting creativity within the learning process and the attainment of professional expertise. Architecture demands a blend of technical skills and artistic expression for effective communication of ideas. However, nurturing creative thinking among architecture students faces challenges, including fear of experimentation and traditional teaching methods. To address these obstacles, the paper suggests integrating problem-based learning (PBL) and mind mapping techniques. PBL encourages collaboration and critical thinking, while mind mapping stimulates visual and associative thinking, aiding idea generation and organization. Additionally, the role of technology in architecture education is explored, emphasizing the benefits of mixed learning environments that enhance collaboration and creativity. Embracing technology readiness equips students with tools to tackle real-world challenges and create innovative designs. In conclusion, this paper underscores the importance of creative thinking in architectural design and its implications for the discipline's future. By adopting the Four C model, implementing PBL with mind mapping, and leveraging technology, educators can revolutionize architecture education, nurturing a new generation of architects prepared to shape the evolving world with imaginative and visionary designs.
