Problem Based Learning

This website started as a problem based learning challenge for three schools in two nations initially in 2017. The research, content and drawings were curated by students from The Lippman School and Portage Path Community Learning Center in Akron, Ohio and the Northern Cheyenne Nation in Montana. We hope that as you walk with us on this ancient path you will learn something new.
