Since BMS has started the group iEngineers, these students have been challenged with working on a passion project, a project that incorporates something they are passionate about and taking the initiative to learn more about on their own with support. This year I have the privilege to work with these students everyday to share my passions and resources on technology we have here at BMS. Being able to work with them everyday, has challenged me to try out new things with this group. I'm excited to share with you a design process called LAUNCH. I learned about this process through my reading of John Spencer's book in my TIS group. I created a LAUNCH passion project reflection using this design process, to share with my students to use for their evidence and journaling of the process of learning about their passion idea. Here are some of the resources I have shared with my students and encourage teachers to check them out to see how you could implement this LAUNCH idea into your classroom.

Comisar LAUNCH Passion Project Template- I used this template to share with students and as part of my PGP the students helped me to SPICE it up with Google Slide features. Here is the hyperdoc I used to share resources to make a Google Slides presentation even better.
The STEAM Creativity Fair, which is during conferences, is Thursday, April 25th. Please come see and support the AMAZING passion projects that will be on display that the iEngineer students have worked on so hard this year. Think about how you can incorporate more STUDENT VOICE into your classroom using this LAUNCH approach!
