Students tackle authentic project through flipped learning at UTPB STEM Academy
Crista Wilson and UTPB STEM Academy teachers drafted a proposal, presented it, and refined it with feedback. Students had 15 days to complete projects, studied lifecycle and food web concepts per state standards, and heard from UTPB ecologists. The program uses flipped learning with teacher-provided knowledge first, then applied tasks. Random partner drawings teach collaboration and communication skills similar to adult work environments.
