Personal Project

“If I would have known it was that much work, then I would have started sooner!”

Introduction
By following the timeline below, the Prep Class Personal Project course will lead students through a fully com-
prehensive project creation. Most importantly, the project should benefit humanity and/or the environment.
The students have the freedom to choose what they will produce (ex. Campaign, blueprints, musical piece,
book or other writing pieces, lessons, etc.). This coupled with the link to a Global Context means the possibili-
ties are truly endless.
