TRIO ThinkQuest Success Using Rubric Driven Curriculum

What is TRIO ThinkQuest?

TRIO ThinkQuest is an educational Web design activity for teams of 2-4 students in TRIO middle and high school programs across the nation. TRIO is a federally funded program to assist non-traditional students to enter and graduate from college.

TRIO ThinkQuest promotes collaboration and project managment, as well as the use of today's technology. It emphasizes 21st century research, writing, intellectual honesty, and educational fair use rules, all of which are essential skills for success in higher education.

TRIO ThinkQuest has been in effect since 2000. Click TRIO ThinkQuest 2005 Winners to view examples of student-built educational Web sites from TRIO programs around the nation in 2005.

Exciting News!
