Congratulations on being selected to participate in the 2021 Institute on Project-Based Learning! We are excited to have you join us as we take the Institute online. The Institute will take place June 15-18, 2021, with all of the scheduled sessions between 11 am EDT and 5 pm EDT (see schedule below).
Recognizing the intensity of workshops and the stress of long Zoom sessions, we’ve built-in breaks. Beyond that, we encourage your team to decide together which sessions you all want to participate in, and where you might benefit from a divide-and-conquer approach. For example, each concurrent workshop session will have three options. A team of five might send one member to each workshop while the other two are free to handle home obligations. On the other hand, we’ll encourage everyone to attend certain sessions such as Randy Bass’s keynote, which promises to be inspirational.
We look forward to meeting you and working together toward our shared goals to advance the use of project-based learning and student success. Below is information on the registration process and the Institute itself. Please contact Sara Ringer (slringer@wpi.edu) with any questions.
REGISTRATION PROCESS
To ensure access to sessions and materials it is necessary that each participant fill out a registration form by noon on April 30, 2021 through our online registration system (see link below). Invoices for each team will be emailed to the Team Leader on May 14, 2021.
You will have the ability to edit your registration information until May 31, at which time the rosters will be finalized. Individual team member registrations are transferable within an institution if made by May 31.
As a reminder, all sessions will be held between 11 am and 5 pm EDT to accommodate all continental US time zones. The pricing for the Institute is $4000/team of five, with a $500/pp charge for additional members.
