The study focuses on the importance of interdisciplinary learning experiences for exploring diverse subjects. Qualitatively conducted with 9 gifted high school students at a Science and Arts Center in Türkiye, the research involved collaboration among teachers in science, information technologies, and English, guided by a gifted education specialist. The interdisciplinary activity spanned 16 class hours, integrating Molecular Biology and Genetics with English, cinema, and information technologies. The students undertook a DNA comparison and gel electrophoresis experiment, followed by vocabulary activities, English improvisation, and a short film creation. Feedback from students was positive, and expert evaluations noted a high level of creativity in both the short film (average score 4/5) and the poster (average score 3.75/5). The study underscores the success of the tailored interdisciplinary approach for gifted students, offering valuable insights for future research and guidance for teachers in the gifted education domain.
