The authors have two goals: First, to show the value of project-based work for first-year undergraduate students; and second, to share how to introduce this work into first-year programs. The content is applicable to all grade levels, though—any teacher or school that wants to actively engage its students in understanding and solving real-world problems through project work. The possibilities for interdisciplinary projects are addressed as well.
