Fall and project-based learning
Try some project-based learning this fall
Dear Parent,
Fall is already here and some of us are fully embracing it, and some of us are overwhelmed with the amount of family stuff, work stuff and random stuff that come up out of nowhere. Deep breaths - we can handle this! 🧘♀️
This fall, we’re embracing Project-Based Learning (PBL), an engaging, hands-on approach where kids solve real-world problems through exciting projects. PBL empowers children to apply their knowledge across multiple subjects while sparking their creativity. Here are some examples:
Design a playground to explore geometry, math, and art
Create a plant garden to explore natural sciences
Build a miniature structure with an elevator to learn architecture and mechanics
Construct a simple alarm clock using electronic circuits
Curate a museum exhibit to dive deep into history
There are a lot of resources out there to help with this. If you are more of a DIY person, you can try these out:
