A New Direction

Between 2013 and 2023, Lucas Education Research, a George Lucas Educational Foundation division, collaborated with esteemed university education researchers. Together, they worked on building a robust evidence base for project-based learning as an effective approach for all students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds and underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. Explore the research findings and additional materials.

In 2023, the George Lucas Educational Foundation took an exciting new step by launching a division dedicated to developing authentic learning simulations for schools. This work, based on the design principles validated in project-based learning research, will occur in collaboration with strategic partners.
