Project Overview
Nebraska Wesleyan theater students worked with a staff member from Blixt Locally Grown as an independent study class for college credit. The focus of the independent study was to develop theater lessons using Project Based Learning and were taught to students attending Lincoln Community Learning Center clubs at their schools. Plans were created during the first quarter of the school year, 2022, and then implemented during second quarter. This process will be repeated during 3rd and 4th quarter with a new set of theater students and new schools.
