Circle around the metaphorical campfire 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. As a response to stay-in-place orders and need for a deeper sense of connectedness, we have redesigned a popular in-person event to online experience. 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. In this workshop, PBL Design Camp Online combines six two-hour interactive sessions with reflective asynchronous activities. This two-week experience culminates with a unique PBL project plan designed by each participant. To introduce the applications for online collaboration, attending the 90min EdTech session two weeks prior to session one is highly recommended to learn how to navigate MIRO, Flipgrid and Menti.
