Personal Spectacular Project
Personal Spectacular Project
This is a long-term project. Learn something you have always wanted to learn or create something you always wanted to create
BUT DIDN’T HAVE THE TIME.
TIME is what you have. Lots of time...
In the end it has to say “WOW”
RULES:
1. MUST INVOLVE MUSIC
2. Risk-taking (a program you have never used and wanted to learn)
versus
Creative (taking something to the next level)
3.Passion or Interest to you - subject has to be something you enjoy or something you want to learn about
4. Double-duty could be used for another class, Social Studies or Science
