Our Student Projects

In My Shoes

Students learned about shoe design before creating their own in order to explore them as a point for a study of identity and diversity.

High Tech Elementary Explorer

Operation Story Cushion

Students interviewed younger children and parents in a school next to military housing in order to create a “story cushion” — a pillow with voice recorded chips so children could listen to their parent’s voice whenever they wanted.

High Tech Elementary Explorer

The Chocolate Project

First grade students learned about rainforests, ecosystems, agriculture, history, the economics of trade, and cooking by studying the history of chocolate.
