This onsite, five-day institute for Project-Based Learning (PBL) was designed for world language educators to generate project ideas. During the Institute, participants fleshed out their ideas for a project design they had already subjected to critique.

The summer institute was held remotely at the University of Utah, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, and was co-sponsored and co-organized by L2TReC and the National Foreign Language Resource Center.
