What Place-based Learning? Placed based learning: Involves leveraging the resources and emphasis in the location learning is taking place to provide relevance, and context to enhance student engagement, retention, and understanding of content while meeting the workforce development needs in the local area

Why STEM in context?  CONTENT  (Level of STEM Content Knowledge) CONTEXT (Level of Complexity) Zone of Optimal Learning Application of 21 st Century Practices Identify/Recognize/Classify Modeling /Simulation Design/Experimentation Repurposing/Restructuring Inventing/Creating Theorizing/Critiquing/Validating Innovation
