Where Ideas Take Shape: The Impact of Project-based Learning

ELC ISG 2025 Feature image (8)

Hands-on and minds-on projects bridge disciplines and shape confident, capable learners

At ELC International Schools, we nurture a caring and dynamic community where curiosity sparks, creativity blooms, and confidence grows. Rooted in the belief that knowledge is built, not received, our hands-on project-based approach—guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy—encourages children to co-construct learning experiences through exploration, dialogue, and collaboration.

Projects seamlessly integrate disciplines such as science, mathematics, literature, design-thinking, and technology, empowering children to think critically, creatively, and with purpose. With teachers serving as facilitators who nurture curiosity and critical thinking, and boutique campuses thoughtfully designed to act as a ‘third teacher,’ children are inspired to make meaningful connections to the world around them. They move beyond simply gathering data and information to actively building knowledge and cultivating wisdom.

At ELC, projects are pathways to discovery, innovation, and growth. They prepare confident, capable global citizens to thrive in an ever-changing world. During their time with us, children develop a toolkit of transferable skills that make them future-ready, including creativity, collaboration, communication, compassion, metacognition, and critical thinking—skills identified by the OECD as essential attributes for the future.

A Year 3 Project in Action: Bridging Nature and Technology

Year 3 students embarked on a transformative journey to explore the relationship between nature and technology, sparked by the question: Can nature and technology coexist? Their exploration unfolded through brainstorming, observation, creativity, and innovative problem-solving.

Exploring Nature and Technology: Equipped with digital cameras and stereoscopes, children examined nature up close, capturing intricate patterns and micro-worlds. These observations sparked reflections on how nature inspires human inventions and the importance of seeing the world through a closer lens.

The Robot Brain: A pivotal moment came when students compared the human brain—capable of emotions, memory, and imagination—with robot brains, which are coded and structured. Through discussions and creative representations, students identified the strengths and limitations of both, exploring how humans and machines advance ideas together.

Designing A Real-World Solution: Motivated by Bangkok’s air quality challenges, children applied their learning to conceptualize and build an AQI Robot capable of measuring air pollution indoors and outdoors. With technology now an integral part of education, students naturally intertwined coding and robotics into their learning. Through an iterative process, they designed pathways, bridges, and carriers, tested their ideas, and refined their robot—transforming abstract concepts into tangible, real-world solutions.

Throughout the project, the process was just as valuable as the outcome. Students embraced mistakes as opportunities for growth, embodying resilience, teamwork, and critical thinking. Working together as a community of learners, they brought ideas to life—bridging disciplines and discovering the power of innovation.
