Project-Based Learning Workshop at the South Carolina Afterschool Alliance Conference

Monica Biswas and Haejung Chung facilitated two training sessions at the South Carolina Afterschool Alliance Conference on "Project-based Learning: How-to-tools to Get Started." At these sessions on April 19th, 2005, two groups of local South Carolina afterschool educators and administrators experienced how to implement fun and engaging project-based learning activities in their afterschool programs. The workshops offered basic steps of implementing project-based learning, from getting kids excited about starting projects to helping them share final products from their projects, through a ready-to-use sample activity.
