Lets first talk about what exactly is project based learning?

Project-based learning (PBL) is an instructional approach where students learn through the completion of projects rather than traditional methods of instruction. In PBL, students investigate and respond to complex questions, problems, or challenges that are often real-world or relevant to their lives.

Now lets see its effects on the students.

It makes the students more prepared of what the practical world is. They get hands on information and learning of every topic and an actual evaluation of how the real world works.

It helps them to Engage with the Real-world Issues.  Students engage in in-depth inquiry, research, and investigation to explore the topic or problem they are working on. This fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

When students interact more or collaborate more, they develop a sense of involvement and emotional intelligence. The more the collaborate the more they learn to deal with new and other people in different circumstances.

Students create tangible products or deliverables as part of their projects, such as presentations, reports, prototypes, or performances. This allows them to demonstrate their learning in a meaningful way.

Project based learning promotes the development of a wide range of skills beyond academic knowledge, including critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, and problem-solving which is quite great for a young student.
