Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), a purpose-driven community of educators and researchers, has been a global leader in project-based STEM education for over 50 years. Making an impact on higher education and the world, WPI prepares confident, capable problem solvers through a project-based curriculum that immerses students in authentic, real-world experiences.

At the 2025 ASEE Annual Conference in Montreal, Quebec, experts shared how WPI is leveraging a project-based, interdisciplinary approach to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to educate the next generation of changemakers.

We’re excited to continue the conversation at the 2026 ASEE Annual Conference in North Carolina this June. We invite attendees to connect with WPI to explore how this versatile and impactful approach to teaching empowers learners to turn ideas into action.

Thank you to everyone who connected with us last year—we look forward to building new partnerships and sharing fresh insights in 2026.
