Projects of Personal Interest 2022-2023

To all those people out there who believe that children, if allowed to do what they like, will just sit around and do nothing, you are WRONG! Children are wonderfully curious and they know that the world is an interesting place. Just like we did when we were children! I'm very proud to share the Projects of Personal Interest topics that my students assigned themselves this year, and I'm excited to see what next year's group of 10-12 year olds chooses:
