Project Resources

Because teachers lack time to develop new content and resources for existing classes, adding new curricula is often not prioritized. This section contains ready-to-use resources for implementation whether a teacher desires to remake entire units or add a weekly STEM connection to existing content.


Although this page will update as new resources surface, the following links contain useful content for teachers in any discipline who want to promote STEM and broaden students' understanding of its relevance.

Resources

PBS STEM Resources

Nearly 600 STEM-related videos are ready to play from this site. Some feature STEM careers, while others focus on STEM knowledge and experiments and are conveyed in minimal time, so are easily added to existing curriculum without impacting the timing of planned activities.

Projects at High Tech High

High Tech High was built to embrace the burgeoning tech and PBL culture and has proven that both pedagogical shifts work to engage and inspire students. This site provides actual projects used the HTH in a variety of grade levels.

Edutopia

This site is the repository of PBL gurus. In fact, project-based learning is one of the organization's core principles. Founded by George Lucas, the site hosts resources for brain-based learning, game-based learning, classroom technology, and social-emotion learning, to name a few.

Buck Institute for Education

One of the most active and long-living advocates for project-based learning, the Buck Institute has up-to-date resources to read, view, and engage, including social networking sites to connect to other teachers utilizing PBL.
