PROBLEM STATEMENT
Lack of teacher buy-in for Personal Project, which feels like an add-on rather than a chance to apply classroom concepts to real world problems.

SOLUTION
Teach inquiry based, interdisciplinary units in all classes from the beginning of the year to generate buy-in for the type of learning of the Personal Project.
