What is Project Based Learning?
Project Based Learning is a hands on way for students to not only learn the material but transfer what they've learned into a physical finished product. In Project Based Learning assignments, students research with their groups, brainstorm and assemble to show their level on understanding. Students get a topic to learn about and they are given a problem they need to solve. The problem will stretch the students critical thinking and creativity. Project Based Learning projects are not small assignments and a lot of work is required, but the end result is impressive and students can be proud of what they've completed.

Why is PBL used in education?
Project Based Learning is a great way for teachers and students to get multiple lessons and study skills out of one project. Students learn to work with other team members, how to divide up research and hold each other accountable. Students have to use critical thinking rather than study for a test to make a plan for the their PBL. They have to read, write, use math and answer questions about their topic, and most importantly, students are able to be apart of the entire process. They are able to control how the project goes in it's entirety, from start to finish.
