The project video above was a great inspiration to me when building my own project. I felt this project was a perfect example of creating authenticity in PBL. Specifically, I appreciated the emphasis on connecting to the public. This project does this by relating it to a real-world problem that they are trying to solve. The project also involves community experts not just at the end during the presentation phase, but during the revision process. I thought that was an interesting usage of outside experts. This will be something I will include, as I want to involve other schools with educational professionals who have built similar spaces to what my students will be doing. I would like to have professionals like this for students to bounce ideas off of and advice on building, developing, and revising their learning spaces.
