Project-Based Learning in Action

Project-based learning (PBL) is at the heart of the CIS educational philosophy. Rather than rote

memorization, students engage in hands-on projects that require them to apply their knowledge and

develop problem-solving skills. Here are a couple of real-life examples of how PBL is implemented.

Example 1: Sustainable Solutions Project

Objective: Students learn about environmental issues and develop sustainable solutions for the Coronado community.

Project: Students researched local environmental challenges, such as plastic pollution on beaches. They then designed and implemented a community recycling program, creating educational materials and organizing beach cleanups.

Outcomes: Students gained a deeper understanding of environmental science, learned about community engagement, and developed leadership skills. They also made a tangible positive impact on their local environment.

Example 2: Entrepreneurship Challenge

Objective: Students learn about business principles and develop entrepreneurial skills.

Project: Students formed small teams and developed a business plan for a new product or service that would benefit the Coronado community. They conducted market research, created prototypes, and presented their business plans to a panel of judges (local business owners and CIS faculty).

Outcomes: Students learned about finance, marketing, and teamwork. They gained confidence in their ability to create and present ideas, and developed a valuable understanding of the entrepreneurial process.

These examples showcase how CIS integrates real-world challenges into its curriculum, allowing students to learn by doing and develop skills that are highly valued in the 21st century.
