I got my first taste of the amazing feeling of enough time and enough teachers to do project based learning successfully on a big scale! All four MPX teachers teamed up to plan the thirsty games with the purpose of giving the incoming freshman the experience of a full project cycle. Teams were provided dirty water and had time and tools to brainstorm a way to clean the water with limited tools.
