Bioscience High School Better World Project:
The BWP is an opportunity for students to engage in a real-world problem or challenge while developing life skills. This year-long project allows for a transdisciplinary approach to learning in a fun and engaging way. As students identify and focus on addressing a community challenge about which they are passionate, they will synthesize and develop a broad and powerful skill set as they learn how to overcome challenges. After identifying a challenge about which they have a personal connection or deep interest, students will interact and communicate with stakeholders and will implement an intervention for their selected challenge. At the end of the school year, students will present to their peers and community a summary of their BWP experience. Please see the Bioscience High School Better World Project-Senior Experience Folder for more information.
