Presents FORAP (Framework for Organizing Reusable and Adaptable Project-Based Learning projects) and a portfolio of 14 adoption-ready PjBL packages for computing education. The framework addresses the gap between PjBL's known benefits and its slow classroom adoption by making projects reusable, adaptable, and scalable across contexts.

Anchors in project-based-learning and active-learning practice for k-12 and higher-ed, connecting to cs-education and stem-education implementation. It complements scaffolding approaches by providing structures teachers can adopt without rebuilding from scratch, lowering barriers to teacher-role adoption of hands-on computing pedagogy.
