Project-based learning offers students rigorous academic experiences that take them beyond the
boundaries of textbooks and lectures. In the process, they learn critical thinking skills and the competence
to solve problems in the world around them.”

The Objectives of Project Based Learning are:

1. Integration of knowledge and skills from various areas through more complex
investigations and multi-disciplinary projects.
2. Autonomous learning encouraged through research of unstructured problems.
3. Teamwork, which helps prepare students for a social environment.
4. Teach academic content knowledge and skills, and develop deeper understanding.
5. Build 21st century success skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, communication,
collaboration and creativity/innovation.
