How We Implement Project Based Learning?

Teaching project-based learning does not have to be complicated and does not have to be exhaustive, it just has to be thoughtful and logical.
WhyMaker believes there are 6 features that make a great project-based learning experience for studes. We work with teachers to design and plan each of these 6 features for an actionable project with their students.

It is within the realm of possibility to create aculture change through embed project-based learning in ytour school, and WhyMaker can help make you lead the shift.

We help educators find success with PBL by shifting their mindsets from teacher to learning engineer.

How We Apply It

WhyMaker can help support educators in developing meaningful projects that connect to content and have students running to your classroom with their faces lit up, ready to learn.

There are many ways to incorporate STEM into the classroom, from low-tech tools like paper and cardboard, all the way up to high-tech tools like 3D printers and robots.

We encourage STEM education that involves hands-on, real-world, problem-based learning challenges. We help educators to support students in thinking outside the box to come up with the best solutions, while applying their knowledge and skills in real-world contexts.
