Evidence Dossier

Every LearnPBL project automatically produces an Evidence Dossier — a structured, AI-verified record of the complete research process. This dossier maps directly to the evaluation criteria of 9 international academic programs.

Awards

CREST Awards

Credential type
British National STEM project certification (ages 11–19)
Organizer
British Science Association

The UK's benchmark for school STEM projects. Bronze is the standard gateway for KS3. Silver and Gold require independent research with evidence of iteration and evaluation. LearnPBL integrates all three CREST tier criteria across planning, execution, and finalization.

Curricula

HPQ — Level 2 Higher Project Qualification

Credential type
Pearson Edexcel Level 2 qualification (1 year)
Organizer
Pearson Edexcel

A one-year independent research project for KS4/GCSE students. It can serve as evidence of independent research for applications. LearnPBL's Planning Phase (M1–M5) maps to the HPQ project log and planning document structure.

EPQ — Extended Project Qualification

Credential type
Pearson Edexcel Level 3 qualification (1 year, up to 28 UCAS Tariff points)
Organizer
Pearson Edexcel

The gold standard of UK Sixth Form independent research. EPQ can carry up to 28 UCAS Tariff points. LearnPBL covers the complete EPQ cycle: topic selection → planning → execution → analysis → evaluation → presentation.

IB Extended Essay

Credential type
IB Diploma Programme core requirement (independent research paper)
Organizer
International Baccalaureate Organization

A mandatory component of the IB Diploma, requiring 4,000 words of independent research in any subject. The revised criteria have first assessment in May 2027 and reduce the total from 34 to 30 marks. LearnPBL's four-phase workflow maps directly to the EE research cycle—from topic framing through academic writing and reflection.

AP Capstone

Credential type
College Board AP Seminar + AP Research (2-year sequence)
Organizer
College Board

A two-year program: AP Seminar builds research and argumentation skills; AP Research requires an independent 4,000-word academic paper with presentation and defense. LearnPBL's Planning and Finalization phases align with the AP Research workflow.

Competitions

Regeneron ISEF — International Science and Engineering Fair

Credential type
Global pre-college STEM research competition
Organizer

The world's largest pre-college science fair. Students qualify through Society for Science affiliated fairs; the event has 22 categories and offers Grand Awards, special awards and scholarships.

Regeneron STS — Science Talent Search

Credential type
US elite pre-college science research competition
Organizer
Society for Science

America's most prestigious pre-college science competition. Each year, 300 students are named Regeneron Scholars; 40 become Finalists and receive scholarships. LearnPBL supports the research depth and writing STS requires.

ICW — Invention Convention Worldwide

Credential type
Global invention and innovation competition
Organizer
Invention Convention Worldwide

A global invention competition for students in grades 3–12. It requires a detailed log recording the design process—including iteration, failure and user feedback—plus a functioning prototype and pitch. LearnPBL's execution log maps to ICW logbook criteria.

Yau Awards — S.-T. Yau High School Science Award

Credential type
Top Asian secondary school mathematics and science competition
Organizer
Tsinghua University

Tsinghua University's flagship science award for secondary students across Asia. It covers six areas: mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, computer science and economics. LearnPBL's Planning Phase supports the mathematical rigor and hypothesis structure these awards demand.
