Project-based learning (or PBL) is an approach to teaching and learning that has students take on real-world problems in authentic ways. It engages students in authentic roles like that of a scientist, historian, or mathematician to work on authentic problems, whether it be in their classrooms, communities, or societies, and to produce real solutions that have real impacts on real audiences.
In doing so, students learn not only rich academic skills but also social-emotional skills, leadership, collaboration, and how to problem-solve with others to take on pressing challenges or opportunities. During this design sprint, you will explore how to design meaningful and authentic learning experiences that help learners explore issues of global climate justice.
All Penn community members are welcome to participate, whether you are a seasoned educator or simply curious about climate education. Registration is required.
