"Workbench is a project-based learning platform where students can complete STEAM tasks in class or individually, using everything from basic art supplies and recyclable materials to innovative technologies such as Sphero, Makey Makey, Raspberry Pi, and more. The site houses lessons that can be adapted to a variety of grade levels and curricular goals and is free to use. 

​Teachers can create projects from scratch or choose from one of many lessons that come complete with standards (CCSS or NGSS), videos, questions, and images. Lesson creation is fairly simple: Teachers simply choose the Create option under Projects, and Workbench walks them through the steps of titling, adding standards, adding content, and listing steps. From there, teachers can assign lessons to a whole class or individual students. Students can see their progress as they complete the steps, which may include watching videos, viewing images, answering questions, and creating and uploading content. Teachers can monitor student progress in real time, allowing for formative assessment and reteaching of concepts if needed." (source)
