Company History
Since 2009, Defined has worked to design enriching, engaging, project-based lessons for students and teachers. Our goal has always been to think outside the box when it comes to student engagement and application of knowledge, by bringing real-world experiences into the classroom.
Our ongoing project based learning research supports our passionate belief educators benefit, and students flourish, when education standards, skills, and career-oriented curriculums are aligned for students of all ages.
After partnering in 2014 with Jay McTighe, co-author of Understanding by Design, we’ve delved even deeper into a holistic approach to education. As of 2019, over 1 million students completed Defined Learning projects, while tens of thousands of educators witnessed firsthand the transformative effects of project based learning.
With the onset of the pandemic, accessible education became more critical than ever before. That’s why we partnered with the Tennessee STEM Innovation Network and the Connecticut Department of Education to provide PBL curriculum to students free of charge. As educators adapt to a changing world, we work with them to make that change seamless.
