Chris Sleat grew up exploring, making stuff, and doing cool projects. His mom, a central Pennsylvania educator for 35 years, appreciated the benefits of hands on learning. When Chris moved his family to Maryland, he observed a lot of lectures and direct instruction. He saw his own kids growing without the benefit of powerful learning experiences he had growing up. Chris got the itch to do something about it. In 2013 he launched Workbench Platform with the goal of making it easier to teach with projects and to extend equitable access to great project-based learning (PBL) tools. Workbench is a PBL platform and is licensed software-as-a-service to districts with per school pricing. Compared to DIY PBL, where teachers typically need to design the entire project, Workbench offers easy to use authoring tools and a big library of projects to adopt, adapt and integrate into a bigger project-based learning experience. The Platform is already used in over 10,000 schools around the world making the creative and collaboration power strong.
