Project Ideas 

There are endless opportunities for exploration! Here are some categories to consider for a project: 

• Invention

• Reverse Engineering

• Robotics

• Art/Design

• Scientific Inquiry

All projects will need a visual display (e.g. tri-fold) describing the topic and explaining the process of the project.
