Resources
Most of the resources out there for project-based learning are written for classroom teachers, so it takes some work to translate them for homeschool use. We are gathering and sharing our favorite resources, and sometimes creating some of our own!Â
​
We also share ideas and resources regularly on Instagram (@Bramblewood_mamas) and Facebook group (Project Based Homeschoolers).

"Being in the same room with these women is such a treat! Danika and Kelly have such passion and immense knowledge to share. I’d highly recommend others attend their events. You will walk away with new homeschool connections, new skills and will want to race home and start implementing what you learned! I will definitely be signing up for the next workshop!"

"I attended the PBL workshop at Bramblewood Learning Community and got so much out of it! Danika and Kelly organized the workshop so that they shared useful and relevant information (clearly, concisely, and with time for questions) and then led meaningful group activities where we designed projects! I especially loved that there was time to workshop a project for our community where we had access to Danika and Kelly's support. The vibe was encouraging and supportive and fun! I'm looking forward to attending another workshop with Kelly and Danika."

"Listening to the Bramblewood Mamas, Kelly and Danika, share their thoughts on homeschooling and its profound influence on our community is an amazing opportunity to be completely immersed in inspiration. Their genuine enthusiasm for the homeschooling journey, coupled with their unwavering commitment to growth and learning, is truly contagious. Each time I have the privilege of hearing them speak, I discover a renewed sense of passion and purpose."
