About These Projects

Learn more about the projects through each page and by reading the instructional overview. Here is one of the key learning elements from that post:

The most important element of project-based learning in this space — so important that it’s been repeated and bolded multiple times in this post — is this: You can individualize almost every aspect of the work. You might even be able to take “almost” out of that sentence, because the exceptions are there in any classroom. You’re going to have to read and write, and there will be required texts and essays; after that relatively short list, though, every aspect is malleable, if not outright fungible.

Remember what a makerspace does: It poses problems, solves them with available resources, and evaluates the process in order to improve. In the Humanities, our problem-solving is focused on the skills of reading and writing, with a secondary focus on building a better self through what we read and write.
