What do these goals mean?

Your Learning Goal

Your learning goal is what you aim to learn or understand through your Personal Project. It represents the knowledge, skills, or insights you want to develop during the project process.

Your Product Goal

Your product goal represents the tangible or intangible outcome you plan to produce as a result of your project. This could be a physical artifact, a digital creation, a performance, or any other concrete manifestation of your work.

Key Considerations:

Both should align with your academic interests and personal aspirations
Ensure your goals are challenging yet attainable
These goals should demonstrate both creation and intellectual growth

Remember: Your product goal should be a substantive representation of your learning process and acquired knowledge.
