“…PJBL (Project Based Learning) adalah model pembelajaran yang menyajikan permasalahan secara faktual yang ada di lingkungan sekitar, nantinya permasalahan ini akan dibahas oleh siswa ketika belajar di kelas (Baudin et al, 2022;Kendall et al, 2021). Sehingga siswa dapat menanggapi suatu permsalahan dengan cara berpikir secara kreatif dan terampilan dalam memecahkan permasalah tersebut.…”

Education is an effort made by the government to create an atmosphere in the learning process for students to be active in building their potential. In the educational process, students are expected to have religious values, be able to control themselves, personality, intelligent, intellectual, moral, and skilled. Students in schools are asked to have 21st-century skills, namely the appearance known as "4C", one of which is creative thinking skills. To realize this, the role of teachers in schools is needed as educators. In the learning process, the learning model needs to be considered by a teacher for the learning objectives to be achieved. The learning model is (Project Based Learning) which reveals whether the learning model influences the creative thinking of high school biology students, researchers conduct literature reviews related to this. The method in this study is a literature review method, namely analyzing relevant articles with a descriptive type qualitative approach by including the keywords "Project Based Learning" and "creative thinking ability". The result of this literature review is that the PJBL (Project Based Learning) learning model has a significant effect on the ability to think in high school biology class students. In addition to the syntax of the PJBL (Project Based Learning) model which can require students to solve problems in the form of projects so that students can think creatively, other things also support the use of the PJBL (Project Based Learning) learning model such as the use of interesting media-assisted or the use of supporting student worksheets.

“…While people-to-people exchanges will likely return, new approaches have also been suggested. For example, low-cost Internet-of-Things (IoT)-enabled equipment manipulation and data acquisition can become an integral part of laboratory practices (25,111,112). If adopted by the community, this approach could enable open data generation and accessibility transcending borders, allowing new avenues for global collaborations in research and education, as it has been previously seen in the field of genomics.…”

“…If adopted by the community, this approach could enable open data generation and accessibility transcending borders, allowing new avenues for global collaborations in research and education, as it has been previously seen in the field of genomics. Indeed, this approach of next generation "brain observatories" or "IoT-enabled shared labs" has been recently proposed as a mean to democratize access to neuroscience research (113), and have already been tested in the context of neuroscience education in the United States and Latin America (111).…”

“…In PBL, the students are given elaborate "non-cookie cutter" discovery projects designed to develop both technical skills, as well as critical scientific thinking (Emery and Morgan, 2017;Ferreira et al, 2019). For Latinx students, the most significant increase in conceptual understanding is observed when the projects are both collaborative and based on culturally and socially-relevant topics (Baudin et al, 2022a;Chen et al, 2015;Ferreira et al, 2019), and when state of the art methods are used (Ferreira et al, 2019). However, despite the benefits of PBL, its implementation in the classroom is limited by high costs required to perform complex and novel experiments (Baudin et al, 2022a).…”

Despite many interventions, science education remains highly inequitable throughout the world. Among all life sciences fields, Bioinformatics and Computational Biology suffer from the strongest underrepresentation of racial and gender minorities. Internet-enabled project-based learning (PBL) has the potential to reach underserved communities and increase the diversity of the scientific workforce. Here, we demonstrate the use of lab-on-a-chip (LoC) technologies to train Latinx life science undergraduate students in concepts of computer programming by taking advantage of open-loop cloud-integrated LoCs. We developed a context-aware curriculum to train students at over 8,000 km from the experimental site. We showed that this approach was sufficient to develop programming skills and increase the interest of students in continuing careers in Bioinformatics. Altogether, we conclude that LoC-based Internet-enabled PBL can become a powerful tool to train Latinx students and increase the diversity in STEM.
