Learning Goals will be set by students in collaboration with the teacher.  Overall students will learn project management skills and Scientific Investigation techniques using Open Inquiry and Project Based Learning techniques. Students will be able to finish one project per course depending on work done outside of class, complexity of the project and what the final project display will be. Students wishing to refine their ideas, go more in depth in the project or would like to focus on doing the project during mostly in class collaboration periods are free to take this course as many times as they wish to project completion. The second course would focus on refining the project and giving more time and resources to complete the project.
