In its physical form, a project card is a 6″x9″ glossy card with an image from an inspiring project on the front, and a short description of the project on the back. If you would like to order a full pack of project cards, send us a message using our contact form.

The Unboxed journal started in 2008. The High Tech High Unboxed podcast started in 2019.

These are icons that identify what sort of content you are looking at. Paper+pencil=Article, Microphone=Podcast, Play button=Video, and Two gray card=Cards.

Subscribers receive the highly-coveted Unboxed newsletter, and occasional updates when something really exciting is coming out (and when we say “occasional” we mean it).

The High Tech High Graduate School of Education (GSE) supports teachers, educational leaders and school founders in reimagining schools with a focus on equity, deeper learning and shared leadership.

When you click on an individual issue (under the “journal” tab) there is a button under the picture of the cover that says “buy print issue.”

Note: this is only available for Issue 7 onwards.

Here is our podcast page, you can also follow us on: Tune In, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Pinecast, RSS, Podcast Addict, Pocket Cast.

PBL stands for “Project-based Learning.”

The quickest way we know to explain “project-based learning” is to answer a very short question that students ask a lot: “Why are we learning this?”

In a conventional classroom, the answer is “because it’s a thing that people should know.”

In a project-based classroom, when a student asks “why are we learning this?” the answer is “Because we’re making [a thing] for [an audience].”

Here’s an example. A student asks “Why are we learning about sentence structures?”

The traditional response is something like “so that you become a more fluent writer. Also, you will get graded on your understanding of sentence structures.”

The PBL answer is something like “Because we’re writing proposals for how to clean the creek by our school that we’re presenting to the town council in three weeks, and these proposals need to look professional.”

Once the class is committed to making work of quality for an authentic audience, the other key elements of PBL follow: students study models of high quality work (including the teacher’s own work), go through multiple drafts, and critique each other’s drafts.

Nearly all the articles in Unboxed are written by people working in schools–teachers, students, and other staff. The rest are written by other people who care about education. And maybe, one day soon, by you! (submit here)
