How can we teachers keep our students’ interest, create an environment of inquiry and capitalize on an interconnected world? Challenge-based learning is an engaging multidisciplinary approach to teaching and learning that encourages students to leverage the technology they use in their daily lives to solve real-world problems.

??? -- Challenge-Based Learning while similar to Project Based Learning also differs. With project based learning the problem students are to solve has been identified for them. In challenge based learning the students after generating essential questions surrounding a topic identify the challenge they wish to solve. I believe as we move forward with the STEM initiative more research should be done around challenge based learning and how we could implement the practice with which ever curriculum we selected.
