In this episode of The WPI Podcast, we explore project-based learning. You’ll hear how this immersive experiential learning method empowers students to develop timeless skills critical for work and life, like teamwork, confidence, and problem-solving. Kris Wobbe, interim dean of The Global School and director of WPI’s Center for Project-Based Learning, explains how project-based learning works and WPI’s approach, which ensures all our students have multiple project experiences that let them apply classroom knowledge to meaningful real-world problems. Wobbe explains how the educational model has positively impacted generations of alumni and how WPI shares its knowledge from decades of leadership in project-based learning, supporting professors and college administrators around the world as they implement projects into their curricula.
