Project-Based Learning
A learning methodology centered on completing concrete projects, in which learners actively acquire and apply knowledge by building real projects from scratch. It contrasts with traditional passive instruction, emphasizing contextual memorization and active problem-solving.

A veteran educator stated that he designs almost all of his courses around a set of projects.
Project-based learning adopts a Backward Design approach, meaning the goal is set first and the required knowledge is then broken down.
Project-driven teaching does not mean abandoning systematic knowledge instruction, as there is still some content that needs to be taught directly by the teacher.
In the project-driven model, each piece of knowledge is introduced because it is needed to complete the project, and this just-in-time demand-driven learning leads to deeper understanding and more lasting retention.
Project-based learning can train students' problem decomposition and engineering thinking.
Project-Based Learning (PBL), which sets specific deliverable project goals before introducing knowledge points, has been adopted by courses such as Harvard's CS50 and the University of Helsinki's MOOC.
