Problem-based learning ignites hands-on exploration, ignites curiosity, and sparks lifelong problem-solvers. This Spotlight will help readers learn how virtual reality can be used for unique problem-solving and engagement; explore how students are publishing their research in peer-reviewed journals; uncover how after-school programs are helping students explore real-world problems; discover how to apply problem-based learning in math and science classrooms; and more. Articles in this Spotlight include: (1) How This Teacher Tapped Virtual Reality to Pump Up Student Engagement (Alyson Klein); (2) Student Scientists Are Publishing Their Research in This Peer-Reviewed Journal (Sarah Schwartz); (3) What 3 After-School Programs Are Doing to Prepare Kids for the Future of Work (Lauraine Langreo); (4) How Lessons about Public Health Can Engage Students in Science Class (Sarah Schwartz); (5) Students Need Better/More Data-Science Skills. Here Are 5 Ways Schools Can Help (Lauraine Langreo); (6) Trouble Getting Students Interested in STEM? These Teachers Figured It Out (Lauriane Langreo); and (7) Using Project-Based Learning in Math Classes (Larry Ferlazzo). [This Spotlight was sponsored by National Inventors Hall of Fame.]
