The Project Lab

Welcome to The Project Lab.

You’ll review five students who are trying to turn their interests and ideas into workable projects.

Your role is to be the project strategist. In each case, choose the next move that best protects what matters to the learner while keeping the project realistic and focused.

Your decisions will affect three signs of project readiness:

  • Meaning

    Does it connect to something the learner actually cares about?

  • Doability

    Can it realistically be pursued with the available time, resources, skills, access, and support?

  • Focus

    Is it specific enough to know what happens next?

There isn’t always one perfect answer.

Use the information in each case, make your best judgment, and see what happens to the project.

Five cases. No time limit. No account. Nothing you do here is saved. This is a formative simulation, so you continue after every decision.
