Our students absolutely enjoyed themselves. This year, they SHOWED UP and SHOWED OUT. Seth Nonnamaker, Rylan Flores and Ben Muhnjuh all won in their categories. Seth had an amazing artwork submission. Rylan and Ben created an exhibit and presentation about protecting our endangered Burrow Owls.

project. It\u2019s an educational approach where students actively explore real-world challenges and problems, gaining knowledge and developing skills by engaging in meaningful tasks. PBL emphasizes deep learning, collaboration and creativity, making it a powerful tool to inspire and equip students to succeed in an interconnected world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Danielle Serna, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/asuprep.asu.edu\/news\/inspiring-the-next-generation-danielle-sernas-journey-at-asu-prep-casa-grande\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a dedicated educator at ASU Prep Casa Grande<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, bringing the real world into her classroom has always been a priority. With experience teaching middle school science, English Language Arts, electives and advising the yearbook and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS), Serna consistently seeks innovative ways to engage her students. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asuprepglobal.org\/training-catalog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trained in blended learning<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, she\u2019s now focused on incorporating gold-standard PBL into her curriculum, combining structure with creativity to transform student learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI love to plan learning experiences for my students that bring in real-world elements<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Serna shares. While she humbly notes her current projects aren\u2019t fully PBL\u2014<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">yet\u2014<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">they incorporate key elements of the approach.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She is laying the groundwork<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to expand these projects into fully realized examples of this impactful methodology.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Her commitment to designing meaningful, authentic learning experiences is already evident in the creative projects she leads.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bringing learning to life<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One standout example of Serna\u2019s approach is<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">eighth-grade science project <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">she assigned<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on genetically modified crops. Using the GRASP framework (Goal, Role, Audience, Situation, Product), she designed a task that required students to take on the role of biotechnologists. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cStudents worked with a partner to research, brainstorm ideas and create their final product,\u201d she explains. \u201cI also gave them product choices or the option to design one themselves, allowing them to have a voice in their learning.\u201d The project not only deepened their understanding of science concepts but also empowered them to communicate ideas in a way that could make a real-world impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sparking innovation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Serna\u2019s passion for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) recently stood out during a micro:bit competition sponsored by the <a style=\"font-weight: 400\" href=\"https:\/\/www.semi.org\/en\/blogs\/empowering-arizonas-future-semiconductor-industry-and-education-initiatives\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEMI Foundation<\/a>. Despite knowing little about micro:bits and semiconductors at the time, she encouraged a group of STEM-focused students to take the lead. Their ingenuity and teamwork earned them second place in the statewide competition, securing micro:bits for the entire middle school and a field trip to ASU.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI designed a follow-up learning experience around the micro:bits when they arrived,\u201d Serna adds. Students rotated through stations to learn coding, explore semiconductor industry careers and understand technologies like cleanrooms and wafer production. By connecting lessons to cutting-edge industry topics, her classroom became a space where students could see the practical applications of their learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/asuprep.asu.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ASU Preparatory Academy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> empowers educators like Serna by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/asuprep.asu.edu\/news\/microspark-conference-ignites-stem-education-at-asu-prep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">enhancing their expertise in microelectronics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and equipping them with the tools to inspire curiosity and bring STEM learning to life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-161265 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/asuprep.asu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/project-based-learning-sparking-innovation.jpg\" alt=\"Students using Project-Based Learning\" width=\"1540\" height=\"974\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Inspiring curiosity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The annual science fair at ASU Prep Casa Grande is another way Serna inspires her students to take charge of their learning. Students brainstorm topics they are curious about and use tools like Magic School AI to help refine their ideas. From testing the traction of different soccer cleats to determining the best way to sanitize toothbrushes, the variety of student-led projects reflects their enthusiasm for exploration and discovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The science fair is a big hit because it\u2019s so hands-on and students have so much voice and choice<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,\u201d Serna explains. She believes this blend of structure and freedom is crucial for creating meaningful, engaging educational experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>A vision for the future<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Looking ahead, Serna is committed to<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> fully<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> introducing a gold-standard PBL project into her curriculum. She sees this step as an opportunity to deepen student ownership, develop critical problem-solving skills and expand their global awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cPBL is about more than just completing tasks,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen students see their projects as part of something bigger, it changes how they think. It lays the groundwork for lifelong learning.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Danielle Serna demonstrates the kind of innovative, student-centered teaching we value at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/asuprep.asu.edu\/casa-grande-high-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ASU Prep Casa Grande<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Her dedication to connecting classroom learning to the real world is helping to prepare her students for success in college and beyond, and she\u2019s one of many ASU Prep educators using PBL to bring learning to life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At ASU Prep, our mission is to design new models for educational success and raise academic achievement for all learners.

With a small school size of 272 students and a staff of only 15, ASU Prep Casa Grande actively fosters strong relationships among students and faculty.
