This work-book is to help you navigate the process of facilitating a project based learning experience for your students. Each section gives you a discussion on the particular subject, templates and examples to support your effort. Use the buttons' in the top table to bring you to the topic you want information about.

Getting started begins with what objectives you want to achieve with your students. This will support your setting up with your students, rubrics and feedback methods for learning.

What prior knowledge do my students need to know?

Using a story, you can find the design challenges that allow the use of the design process and project based learning to occur.  You can steer the direction of the project by using requirements to focus on the science, math and the overall objects.

The exciting part, for you the teacher, is combining  the design process flow with the challenge from the story and the learning styles of your students in a learning environment that engages and excites the students.

Have Fun and enjoy the learning!
