  Project work builds on natural curiosity, enabling children to interact, question, connect, problem-solve, communicate, reflect, and more. This kind of learning extends beyond the traditional classroom to each student’s home, community, nation, and the world. The example projects compiled on this website are sorted by grade level but remember that the best projects evolve from student interests and needs.
