The Whimsy Project is high school level, school-wide, cross-curricular PBL project that allows students to maximize their creative thinking and problem solving skills as they connect academic content to real-world applications, in a fun and whimsical way (per the book by Tony Wagner, "Creating innovators"). It was done in the fall of 2017 at Tri-County Early College as a relatively low stakes way to introduce students - especially incoming freshmen - to the basics of PBL.
