The Project-based Learning online course is designed to introduce educators to project-based learning/instruction (PBL/PBI) through the lens of product development education, an interdisciplinary, project-based curriculum model rooted in engineering/design education as well as industry practices. Why Register? The course activities which will consist of discussion forums, online, asynchronous lectures, team interaction and assignments posted within the platform, are designed to teach instructors how to apply Product Development Education in multiple disciplines. Video describing the program PTC Project Based Learning During the course you will learn how to: (1) Incorporate practices such as problem solving, modeling, investigations, and using data to inform decision making in the classroom. (2) Position students as active learners who apply academic concepts in PBL experiences. (3) Enable students to take a role in innovation by generating products to solve problems More Information:
Workload Approximately 3-4 hours/week for 6 weeks. Technical Requirements You will need a computer that allows you to watch the video lectures and provides the ability to upload all of your assignments. Statement of Accomplishment Subject to course completion (completion of all assignments), you will receive a statement of accomplishment signed by your instructor. This will include a statement of completed hours, and as an approved professional development provider in the state of Massachusetts, PTC can also provide professional development points (PDPs) that are recognized by the state of Massachusetts.

Employment and Educator Participation Opportunities
E/V Nautilus is owned and operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust (OET), a nonprofit founded in 2008 by Dr. Robert Ballard to engage in ocean exploration and research, advance ocean technology, and promote education in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). To accomplish that goal, OET runs a number of different programs for educators and students. Science Communication Fellowship Program OET’s Science Communication Fellowship (SCF) immerses formal and informal educators in the Nautilus Corps of Exploration and empowers them to bring ocean exploration to a global audience via the Nautilus Live website. Fellows share accounts of ocean science, expedition operations and daily life with audiences through live audio commentary and question-and-answer sessions from aboard the ship. Through participation in live interactions with student groups and public audiences, Fellows also engage people of all ages in real-time exploration. Science Communication Fellows then bring their expedition experience back to their own classrooms, organizations and communities in the form of engaging lesson plans and activities centered around their time at sea aboard Nautilus. For more information and for applications (posted each August), please visit Opportunities on the Ocean Exploration Trust website. MORE RESOURCES FROM NASA

Project ASTRO is a national program that improves the teaching of astronomy and physical science by linking professional and amateur astronomers with local educators. Each astronomer is matched with an educator in a one-on-one partnership and commits to visiting the educator’s students at least four times during the school year. Over 500 active educator-astronomer partnerships currently bring the excitement of scientific discovery through astronomy to over 20,000 students annually. The main focus of Project ASTRO educator-astronomer partnerships is hands-on, inquiry-based activities that put students in the position of acting like scientists – as they come to understand more about the universe (and science in general). www.astrosociety.org/education/k12-educators/project-astro/ DiscoverE.org is an amazing resource for science and engineering educational projects and tour suggestions.
