Recent Lights Academy Student Projects

First year students in Lights Academy, our accelerated, project based, personalized learning academy at Lutheran High School, have completed there first major project. There are quite a few compelling examples of student work among the submissions. While students could choose their focus for their work, each of these projects has something to do with the Denver metropolitan area. We limited the focus of these projects as we learned the process of questioning, inquiry, and research.

Here are excellent project examples from my students. Enjoy!
