    Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an instructional methodology that encourages students to learn and apply knowledge and skills through engaging projects set around challenges and problems they may face in the real world. When integrated with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), PBL becomes a powerful approach to deepen understanding and foster innovation.

    Key Components:

    1. Real-World Relevance: Projects are based on real-world problems, making learning more meaningful. For example, students might design a sustainable energy solution for their school.

    2. Inquiry-Based Approach: Students ask questions, research, and explore solutions. This process mirrors the scientific method and engineering design process used in STEM fields.

    3. Collaboration: Students work in teams, simulating the collaborative nature of real STEM work environments. They learn to communicate, share ideas, and solve problems together.

    4. Integration of STEM Disciplines: Projects integrate multiple STEM disciplines. For instance, a project on building a bridge would include principles of physics (science), measurements and calculations (math), the design process (engineering), and perhaps software modeling (technology).

    5. Creation and Presentation: Students create a tangible product or solution and present their findings, often using digital tools. This step emphasizes communication skills and the ability to convey complex ideas.
