Real-World Applications in Project-Based Learning

The video showcases a geometry project at Mount Lake Terrace High School where students design a state-of-the-art high school for 2015. The project requires students to apply their knowledge in geometry and other subjects to create a site plan, scale model, floor plan, and cost estimate. Students present their work to architects, emphasizing real-world problem-solving, teamwork, and communication. The project culminates in a field trip to Seattle's architectural landmarks and a final assessment by architects.
