“They’ve got these memories of obstacles that they’ve had to get over, something ridiculous they had to work through … After they’ve left the class and a few years down the road, they still have those memories of the work they had to put in to make this thing actually happen.”
SHOW NOTES
Josh and Andrea continue the PBL Project Blitz series where once a month, they highlight a PBL project by veterans in the PBL classroom.
In this episode of the PBL Project Blitz series, our hosts are joined by Global Science Perspectives teachers Veronica Buckler and Fariha Hossain of CSA New Tech High School in Columbus, IN to discuss their annual Holiday Ride project.
