When executed well, project-based learning (PBL) engages students' intrinsic motivation, encourages students to learn far beyond a course's limited curriculum, and prepares students to think critically and maturely about the skills and tools at their disposal. However, educators experience mixed results when using PBL…

The term STEM refers to teaching and learning in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It is a very broad concept that includes education across all grade levels: starting from kindergarten and finishing in post-doctorate studies. STEM education is also transversal: is applied in formal (e.g.…

Project-based learning (PBL) has long been recognized as an effective way to teach complex biology concepts. However, not all institutions have the resources to facilitate effective project-based coursework for students. We have developed a framework for facilitating PBL using remote-controlled internet-connected…
