Students are paired with a faculty advisor who work alongside the student as he or she labors on the project for several months. Projects range from engineering to the arts to service and entrepreneurship. The project gives students an opportunity to dive deep into an area of interest and discover if it is a possibility to pursue for college and a future career. It is a maturing experience requiring students to develop a product they are proud of. Please listen and hear some of the unique and impressive Junior Projects from this year, which range from sketch comedy to documentaries on beauty standards, to original architectural design for a new Wilberforce athletic facility.
