Advisor: Asst. Prof. Vichita Rachtam, Ph.D. Abstract Through active learning, deep smarts can be created and transferred from individuals. In order to move toward deep smarts, schools can use project-based learning with learning by doing methods to create and transfer 21st century skills. ‘Catch a Star’ project of Patai Udom Suksa School is used as a case study, in order to examine the process of project based learning and concerning issues.
