Project-based learning<\/span><\/span><\/a> is taking the world by storm.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

More schools than ever are investing in PBL to teach key 21st-Century employability skills and promote <\/span>social and emotional learning. <\/span><\/span><\/a>A recent influx in research also suggests PBL boosts achievement across demographics, <\/span>leveling the playing field for underserved populations.<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In early 2021, India’s government signed a <\/span>$500 million agreement<\/span><\/span><\/a> with the World Bank to strengthen India’s education system and “equip children with the skills required to compete for the jobs of the future.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Later that year, we witnessed the power of PBL in India firsthand during our initial pilot program with <\/span>Bloom Public School<\/span><\/span><\/a> in New Delhi\u2014which led to some truly <\/span>phenomenal projects<\/span><\/span><\/a> at the high school level.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now, we’re proud to share a second round of impressive projects, this time produced by Bloom Public School’s elementary students. See screenshots and watch students proudly present their work below!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1. Animal Nation<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

In this project, students select and explore every aspect of an animal\u2014such as its habitat, diet, and appearance\u2014culminating in the creation of \u00a0an animal report that assesses and addresses its needs. This project adapted from the Texas Performance Standards Project (TPSP), a statewide Gifted and Talented (GT) enhancement curriculum, is available to all in the Project Catalog.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

2. How to Promote Healthy Eating<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Students adapted this project from a broad brainstorming template to take a deep dive into the elements of a healthy sustainable diet. Each student created three tabs analyzing the components of a balanced diet, comparing and contrasting the nutritional value of different foods, and designing their own Healthy Plate based on their findings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another project in the Catalog adapted from TPSP, Everybody on the Move combines the math of movement with its implications on health to educate students on the importance and benefits of exercise. After running their calculations, students design an intervention plan to increase physical activity in their community based on survey results.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This in-depth exploration covers everything from the history and classification of mosquitos, to the mechanism of a mosquito bite. Students gathered and presented their information, designed various experiments, and concluded with their own plan for mosquito control and mosquito borne disease prevention.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“Working with Project Pals has been an enriching experience for our students and teachers. It is an interactive and engaging platform that provides real-world learning experiences. The platform focuses on developing 21st-Century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and curiosity. Further, it provides teachers the opportunity to gauge student engagement, and the application is a great way to actively involve students through remote learning!”\u00a0<\/span><\/span>
