Educational Value
Inquiry-based learning demonstrated through a hands-on project.
Bridged the gap between theory and application of relevant technology.
Open-ended high-risk project allowed students to take ownership, and forced them to think creatively and educate themselves on the subject matter while leading, listening, delegating and making decisions in a group environment, important skills for their future professional careers.
