The Institute curriculum is a mix of interactive workshops on project-based learning, consultations with experts, and collaborative teamwork. Teams will engage with institute faculty in project-based learning at workshops and in mentoring sessions focused on their proposed projects. Participants will develop curricular and organizational strategies tailored to their own institutions and will leave with practical action plans, examples of best practice, and relevant case studies to integrate project-based learning practices into varied academic curricula.
