N2 - This chapter describes in detail the use of a semester-long project for students learning the foundations of education. This chapter takes the readers on a journey through successful reiterations of the project to meet the needs of students in traditional face-to-face, fully online course and hybrid courses. Over the years, the instructors have improved the project through slow expansion, piloting, research studies, and student feedback.

It is only through recursive redesign of our courses and activities will we be able to meet the ever changing and unique needs of our students.
