Project Based Learning
Project-Based Learning (PBL) gives students the opportunity to solve real-world problems through hands-on, collaborative learning. Using the Cubs Create Design Cycle, students ask questions, research, imagine solutions, create prototypes, evaluate their work, and refine their ideas. Along the way, they develop critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills that prepare them for college and beyond.
The Cubs Create Design Cycle utilizes six stages for tackling complex, real-world problems.
Ask
What is the problem? Why does it matter? Who will be impacted?
Research
What is already known? What solutions already exist?
Imagine
What new ideas or solutions could solve the problem?
Plan
How will you bring your solution to life?
Create
Build your solution.
Evaluate & REVISE
Does your solution work? How can you improve it based on feedback?
