STEM Project-Based Learning

Connecting STEM Learning to Local Community

Whole-class, hands-on STEM PBL Units enable students to make STEM connections locally and regionally by completing STEM projects and corresponding STEM PBL Activators. Students also develop lifelong learning skills and transferable STEM knowledge and skills to move them into a future with technological advancements moving at an unprecedented pace.

Project-based learning provides the following benefits:

The framework of our STEM PBL Units includes a meaningful STEM challenge, authentic inquiry, student choice, applied development, and public engagement. Additionally, all STEM PBL Units contain 3-D printing connections, career connections, and alignment to the national career clusters.

STEM PBL Unit Titles

All titles follow a design/redesign structure using the engineering design process, but titles are named and categorized based on their primary focus of creating, researching, sustainability, or tech.

Through goal-focused communication with an emphasis on student success, our Program Design team of former educators and PBL experts works hand in hand with our educational representatives and your school or district to outline a STEM PBL program that fits into your initiatives – whether it’s implementing one title, providing district-wide STEM PBL professional development, or designing an entire course.

STEM PBL Planning

STEM PBL Units provide teachers with a concept map to provide foundational knowledge through activity lesson plans in a variety of STEM topics. Jump-start deeper learning through the provided STEM PBL Activators or create your own program by downloading the STEM PBL Planning Form template.
