Elementary Learning Experiences

Elementary projects for students in grades K-6 begin a child’s journey into the wider world by piquing their curiosity and challenging them to contribute their own ideas. All projects for elementary are always based in content standards and have an emphasis in literacy. Projects are designed for teachers by teachers.

Middle School Learning Experiences

Middle school projects are designed to build ‘cognitive sweat’ in students who are beginning to master independent learning skills and are becoming aware of their world and their place in it. By working side by side with mentor partners to tussle with real-life problems, Middle school students can work collaboratively on projects that make a difference. All projects are standards-based and inquiry-driven. They are designed by teachers, for teachers to increase student engagement.

High School LEarning Experiences

High School projects put students directly in the driver’s seat of current work done by experts. Connecting students to mentors is strategically important as they begin exploring career and post-secondary pathways. Mentor Inspired Learning projects are scenario-driven and based on the thinking processes used by professionals in their field.
