Project Innovation Summer Staffing-ESP's

Project Innovation Esp's

Project Innovation is an inclusive, project-based program where students engage in projects and case studies that answer complex questions or offer solutions to real-world problems. In the past, students have explored questions ranging from "What do plants need to grow?" to "How can we include everyone in our own school?" to "What is the purpose of community art?". Teachers will design and implement this project-based programming throughout this summer program.
