Provided by the Ohio STEM Learning Network (OSLN)-Akron Hub, this 3-day institute is designed to provide workshop attendees with an introduction to Problem-Based Learning (PBL) based on the model developed at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA) and adopted by the National Inventors Hall of Fame School … Center for STEM Learning.

Participants will discover how to:

• Connect your district’s teaching standards through a self-designed PBL
