Personal projects support personal growth in an area of interest. If a student enjoys art, they might reach out and design art lessons for a 1st grade class (Kameron G8). Or maybe you’re interested in basketball, so why not create a basketball program that helps you and your little sister expand your ball handling skills (Sanna G7). The variety of projects is pretty amazing… ideas like building ships out of recycled materials (Tahlyn G7), writing a “Self-Help” book (Shahad G8), designing a Skate / Sand Board (Ishtiaq G7), learning the South African language “Afrikaans” (Hannah G8), and providing gymnastics lessons to aspiring gymnasts (Courtney G7).
These projects are as much about the process as they are about the final product. Through this process students are learning more about themselves, their passions, and how to put these ideas and dreams into action!
