1. What is The Project Builder?
The Project Builder is an AI-powered tool designed to simplify Project-Based Learning (PBL) planning. It offers educators tailored, student-centered projects and access to inspiring PBL project ideas. The goal is for this platform to serve as your PBL planning partner. 

2. How is The Project Builder different from other AI tools?
Unlike many AI tools that simply generate content based on your input, The Project Builder emphasizes choice and customization. Our platform allows you to make decisions and edits throughout the process, ensuring the project aligns with your unique goals, standards, and students’ needs. It’s designed to support your creativity, not replace it.

3. How can I access The Project Builder?
