The Year 7 MIT Showcase

Each group also created a poster explaining their project and a video which was shared on the screens in the Hamilton Centre.

Students were encouraged to take risks, make mistakes and develop resilience and grit. A number of projects failed near the end of the project and had to be adapted or changed to ensure a positive result.

A number of other project needed a great deal of research to make sure that they were successful. A few projects needed students to continue working on them during lunch and break times.

At the end of the week, students were able to take their projects home to share with their parents.
