GEMS/GISE programs use a Project-Based Learning, to help students become better engaged. A project motivates students to gain knowledge, and they remember it longer. Projects give students the chance to apply the skills they learn in school to personally relevant and real-world situations. Students also learns skills in PBL, such as how to think critically and solve problems. These skills will help students succeed in the future, both in school and in today’s work world.
