Since 2016, WPI has welcomed more than 750 participants from more than 130 colleges and universities to the Institute on Project-Based Learning. Teams of participants, representing more than 30 states and 10 countries, join us from large public universities, small liberal arts colleges, community colleges, and private research universities. Nearly a quarter of the teams are from Minority Serving Institutions. Teams of participants are chosen from a competitive applicant pool each year.
