Abstract
Harmony Public Schools, a K-12 Charter School network in Texas, designed a project-based learning model titled STEM S.O.S.(TM) to increase student knowledge and interest in STEM and produce self-motivated and self-regulated learners. Grade 9 MAP and STAAR assessment results were quantitatively analyzed with a quasi-experimental approach using bivariate analysis and linear regression for a preliminary analysis towards establishing the effectiveness of this model. The results demonstrated consistency with previous research for success of project-based learning and produced new findings in terms of gender and ethnicity.
