Challenge enables our most academically advanced students to broaden and deepen their knowledge and understanding through project-based learning. These student-driven and student-focused projects enhance their educational experience, foster creativity and innovative thinking through hands-on activities, develop higher level thinking and problem-solving skills, and differentiate instruction to meet learners at their levels and to encourage continued growth and development.
A list of possible projects and experiences could include:
