The innovation ability of college students needs to be developed within a practical environment. A lack of innovation-related activities can impede students' ability to apply their acquired knowledge in real-world contexts, thereby hindering their innovation development. As an important component of innovation education, high-impact innovation and entrepreneurship education practice activities provide essential practical environments for college students. Unfortunately, despite their importance, the impact of these activities on college students' innovation abilities is often overlooked. This study conducted a quantitative research using survey data from a nationwide innovation and entrepreneurship training program for college students and found that participation in this program significantly enhances college students' innovation abilities. Further research indicates that students who have received guidance or serve as the program leaders achieve better outcomes, specifically, involvement in the program has a greater impact on enhancing their innovation abilities. However, the program level (there are three levels) and whether students receive awards do not affect the effectiveness of their participation, benefits are realized as long as they engage. These findings suggest that “learning by doing” plays a significant role in cultivating college students' innovation abilities and the importance of high-impact innovation and entrepreneurship education practice activities should be emphasized. The study also constructs a framework of “learning by doing” in creative education to explain the research findings.
