Project-Based Learning that Connects
Powering Students
to take on the world
Project-based learning creates an environment where students have agency in their learning — acquiring knowledge and engaging in projects fueled by their own interests. Students are inspired to gain content knowledge in core subjects, while also building skills like communication, collaboration, problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity.
In each Educurious course, students are challenged with problems to solve that pique their curiosity. Students are learning detectives, working independently or collaboratively with their peers. Teachers provide scaffolding and guidance as students investigate the problem and propose solutions.
Project Based Learning
Design Framework
Powerful project-based learning begins with a Launch that sparks curiosity through a complex driving question and connects learning to students’ lives, fostering relevance and agency. During Project Work, students engage in sustained collaborative inquiry—asking, investigating, and creating together—while feedback and revision drive deeper thinking and higher-quality work. The journey culminates in a Final Product that is authentic and meaningful, shared with real audiences, and enriched by cycles of reflection that turn experience into lasting understanding.
And Research Shows It Works
Project-based learning doesn’t just make school more engaging — it makes school more effective. Decades of research show that high-quality project-based learning boosts motivation, deepens understanding, and strengthens skills like collaboration, communication, and problem solving. Students remember more because they do more. And when you connect academic content to real-world purpose, you prepare them for life.
