Our topic is "Making Education Interesting Again."
This topic stems from many students' experiences during and coming out of quarantine. As a result of online learning, many students developed habits that make it hard to survive in-person school, from constantly napping to "multitasking" to more.
Your goal should not be to solve the entire education system as a whole. Rather, find an aspect that falls within this topic that could be made more interesting and encouraging for students to learn. Don't feel restricted to online learning solutions; your project can be about a problem that existed pre-pandemic.
Requirements
Your submission must include:
- A fully-functioning component that demonstrates how your project would work on a smaller scale. (Your project doesn't need to be completed. There just needs to be something that works.)
- A video presentation that professionally and clearly explains how your project is supposed to work, how it will better the community, and why it relates to the given topic.
- Any code or materials (including your slideshow) that you've used to create your project.
You are allowed to use any platform to create your project.
