Student-Designed Projects
Throughout the first semester last year, students developed individual interests that led to pitching ideas to improve learning and engagement in our district. The second half of the year, students formed design teams around the ideas that most interested them and worked to develop plans, get feedback from experts and stakeholders, pivot often, and ultimately, implement their ideas. Click on the images below to read about their projects and see how they plan to continue implementation.
