To be best prepared for the challenges and opportunities in today’s world, students will need to know how to think for themselves and adapt to constantly changing situations. In a world where new challenges constantly arise, students must be taught to think critically about what they are facing. They must learn to collaborate with others from around the world to develop solutions for problems. Even more importantly, our students must learn how to ask the right questions.
Project Based Learning focuses on students’ creativity and curiosity. This elective is about empowering students to learn through open ended projects, sometimes of their choosing.
