June 2021 PBL Design Camp Online

Overview

Coming together in a circle is time to connect, collaborate, and share ideas. PBL Design Camp brings together a small cohort of educators with this theme in mind to facilitate the creation of new projects for your students. Learn strategies that drive the design process to build empathy for ourselves, our students, and our communities. We will define our north star and guiding compass to generate project ideas for transformative learning experiences. With HTH teachers and students by our side, we will engage in collaborative critique, receive peer feedback, and build a project prototype. Through this camp experience we will exercise our personal reflection muscle to accelerate growth and understanding as a Project-Based Learning facilitator.

Limited to 24 participants to ensure personalized facilitation, collaboration, and mentoring. Participants are guided through whole group and small group activities for two hours per day, Monday, Wednesday and Friday across two weeks. Office hours for personalized coworking time is scheduled for two hours, Tuesdays and Thursdays. PBL Design Camp Online combines both synchronous and asynchronous activities for participants to complete a critiqued PBL curriculum plan.

Discounted pricing for groups 6 and larger.
