The Personal Project is a celebration of your learning and interests as you complete the MYP. It reflects who you are as a learner and can help prepare you for your studies and work in the future.
It is a personal project, which is important; it should revolve around a challenge that motivates and interests you. You should aim to produce a truly personal and often creative product/outcome and to demonstrate a consolidation of your learning in Grade 10.
Completing a Personal Project has many benefits:
it will improve your time management and planning skills
it will give you the opportunity to extend your knowledge and skills in an area that is of great interest to you
it may reveal talents and skills you did not realise you had
it will give you an excellent study foundation for Year 11 and beyond
it may stimulate an interest in a career
it may eliminate an interest in a particular career!
