Personal Interest Projects Are Perfect For Summer!

(For Students Performing at the Level of Grades 4-12)

Is your gifted child a PIP?

Keep your young scholar engaged and enriched this summer by involving them in a Personal Interest Project (PIP). Students can follow their passions and learn, solve, make, or do, culminating in a Project Portfolio. Using Skills21's vaunted Launchpad platform, students will follow a flexible curriculum including 12 scaffolded projects tasks and 20 instructional videos. Their personally meaningful project can take just a few weeks or all summer long!

PIPs are ideal for students performing at the level of grades 4-12.

Students will be able to display their work at the end of summer virtual expo on 8/19. Projects must be completed by 8/14.
