The goal of the Mission: Project Management (MPM) team is to provide teachers and students with a set of resources to help them plan and implement their projects. Drawing upon the project-planning experience of Hewlett-Packard employees and the teaching experience of high school teachers from Roseville, California, the team has created a simple set of tools to help student teams and individuals meet their project goals.
The documentation includes:
- Welcome Letter
- Overviews for Teachers and Students
- Lesson Plans for each Phase of the MPM curriculum
- Blank Forms for the Students for each Phase
- Two Sample Projects using the forms
- Glossary of Terms
