Blue Apple projects are designed to save teachers time and engage students in memorable, meaningful experiences where they apply critical and creative thinking to real-world problems—while learning the content teachers actually have to teach! They are easily adaptable for grades 3-8, meet cross-curricular standards, and come with everything you need. Intrigued? Enter this giveaway and you could be one of 40 teachers to win a PBL project of your choice.

What are my options?

Choose from 10 hands-on and engaging projects like:

  • Food for Thought: Create, test, and revise healthy recipes in a Top Chef–style competition.
  • High Energy: Design, test, and refine solutions to reduce energy consumption.
  • What’s in Your Water?: Collect, test, and analyze local water samples and determine ways to improve water quality.
  • And more options!

With each Blue Apple project, you’ll get:

  • Videos and contact information for a variety of industry experts.
