The emphasis is on the student experience learning
Student gain important knowledge skills and dispositions
Project are curriculum
not an add on and through them, students develop important capabilities
investigating open-ended questions
Questions activate, arousing curiosity and driving students to inquire
to "make meaning"
The learning is important, unique, and holds value of the student and others
that they transmit in purposeful ways
The form the project takes matches the function it's meant to serve (inventing, entertaining, persuading, motivating, or inspiring)
