Project-Based
Our unique project-based curriculum related to STEM can better train and engage students. Project-based learning can be a solution for school retention rates, attendance in behavioral intervention classrooms, student failure rate, and a need to develop future workforce pathways.
Learn more about Girl with Grit, Founder, Blythe Zemel and her research on Project-Based Behavioral Therapy (PBBT) for improving youth’s mental health through project-based learning.
After her research and belief in project-based interventions, Blythe will open a private therapy practice in 2027 called Project-Based Behavioral Therapy.
