As many Project Based Learning practitioners can attest to, PBL is a rewarding instructional framework, but sometimes it can be expensive to implement:  field trip costs, material costs, or even specialized software and technology costs that may not fit within a declining school budget.

Industry professionals and credible experts—who will usually be glad to help and don’t require extra funding—inspire students and help raise their performance. But where can a school in a marginalized neighborhood with few industry professionals and experts find them? Two of the keys to success are relationships and time.
