Overview

Hands-on learning is the best learning. Encourage your students to investigate, do research, and construct their own solutions to complex problems with projects and activities that require more than a #2 pencil. We want educators to show off the hands-on projects, activities, and demonstrations they use with their pupils. Post anything that someone might teach in a formal setting.

This contest is open to Instructables, Photos, Videos, and Guides with a learning objective explicitly stated in the introduction.
