Southwest IB-MYP Personal Project Celebration and Exhibition




The Personal Project Exhibition and Celebration for students took place on Tuesday, May 16. 

The personal project is an opportunity for 10th grade students to research and create an independent, creative project on any topic they choose. The exhibition was a way for students to showcase their projects and provide 9th grade students the opportunity to learn about topics, ask questions and find inspiration. 

This year’s projects were unique: from running a marathon and building a guitar to writing poetry and choreographing a musical.

After the exhibition, students were invited to the Southwest Stadium for a pizza party. The wood-fired oven ‘project’ created by Mr. Flandrick was used to launch the Personal Projects for this group of students last spring, so it was only fitting that they celebrate by making their own pizzas.

The personal project takes place every year and is certainly an exciting process. It will be great to see how current 9th grade students approach their projects next year.
