Trying Something New: Project Based Learning with our First Guest

In this episode, we have our very first guest, Lindsay Swiatek, a STEM teacher who works with Josh. Both Josh and Erin have collaborated with Lindsay in a variety of ways, and she is the perfect person to help us think about how to bring project based learning into the classroom. She has great stories from her own classroom as well as suggestions on how to try something new (and possibly scary) in your classroom.
