Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students are challenged to actively learn about a subject for an extended period of time. It is a form of active learning or inquiry-based learning. Project-Based Learning is in contrast to paper-based, rote memorization, or teacher-led instruction that presents established facts. Please be aware of what you are purchasing.
Thanks so much,

This is a fun and engaging lesson and design challenge.
My kids loved this resource! It was engaging, easy to use, and sparked a lot of great discussion and creativity in the classroom. It kept them focused and excited to learn. I’ll definitely be using it again!
Is the American Dream alive for everyone? Students were able to create a tiny home while thinking of the budget, and job needed in order to buy a future home or tiny home. Thank you
Little difficult for 3rd to do all parts but very easy to modify for 3rd, great and engaging activity.
This was exactly what I was looking for to cover area. It was engaging and my students loved being able to express their creativity through it.
