What+is+Project+Based+Learning?

At Hughes STEM Center we use Project or Problem based learning to engage students in real world application of knowledge and skills. Projects are designed using the 5E Model of inquiry.

Project-based learning(PBL): is an approach for classroom activity that emphasizes learning activities that are **__long-term, interdisciplinary and student-centered.__** This approach is generally less structured than traditional, teacher-led classroom activities; in a project-based class, students often must organize their own work and manage their own time. Within the project based learning framework **__students collaborate__**, working together to make sense of what is going on. Project-based instruction differs from traditional inquiry by its emphasis on __**students' own artifact construction**__ to represent what is being learned. Students can spend the entire length of the project involved or come in and out as they see fit.
