Project Based Learning (PBL) is an instructional methodology that encourages students to learn and apply knowledge and skills through engaging projects set around real-world challenges and problems. It emphasizes active and experiential learning, integrating various subject areas into a cohesive learning experience.

PBL helps students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative skills. It promotes deeper understanding of subject matter, increases engagement and motivation, and prepares students for real-world challenges by connecting their learning to practical applications.
