Project Ideas
We want kids to be creative about the project ideas. Kids would brainstorm some of these ideas in teams and groups and would decide what would most excite them and what would be most creative. Note that these project ideas scale to all grade levels and can become as sophisticated and technical as the intellectual level of the kids would allow.
