During the Institute, you will develop and implement a multimedia project, either separately or as a team. Project implementation will take place during the spring or summer.
Guidelines
- Each person on a team must be involved in project implementation.
- Projects should be about science. 🙂
- Projects should be student/youth-created.
- Read some tips on Scaffolding for Success.
- Don't forget to have your students fill out release forms.
- Questions? Ask Andrea.
