Personal Projects give middle school students a space to work on something that feels entirely their own.
Over the course of a year, they spend around 60 hours shaping an idea they care about, with mentoring along the way but a lot of responsibility in their hands. It asks them to think independently, manage their time, stay with a process, and make decisions that slowly turn an idea into something real.
Just as important, it gives them a way to express themselves. A robot in this case, but also a glimpse into what it feels like to build something from scratch and keep returning to it until it takes shape.
