2. First off, what is a 20% time project? Well a 20%
time project is this, every week on Wednesday my
classmates and i get the whole work period to work
on whatever we want.
3. Hold on i know what you're thinking, no it’s not
WHATEVER we want to work on. Our 20% time
project is a goal created on our own, something
that you personally are passionate about. This is not
an easily reachable goal, that makes an impact.
4. Don't worry It’s not really a big deal if we don't
accomplish our goal because the effort is what
really matters the time we spent into our
project and applying ourselves.
5. How do i come up with a
project idea?
This should be the easiest step of your project.
Try to brainstorm ideas but keep your ideas to
a personal interest, don’t brainstorm of ideas
that you're not passionate about. The more
you care about your project the harder you
will work on it.
6. How will i benefit from this project?
What i think you benefit from this project
is how much you put in is what you will
get out of it. The harder you work on this
project and how much time you give it
is where you will succeed. A 20% time
project helps you develop certain skills
that is harder for some people to
develop at school, because this project
is designed to be something that you
yourself is passionate about.
7. Should i Work in a Group?
Working in a group or with another person
could be great. Just make sure you and your
partner want to work on the same project. Also
be sure to work with someone that you get
along with really good because you won't
want to work on a project if its not going how
you want it. So make sure your partner and you
see eye to eye.
8. How big should my project be?
Go big or go home right? you should set
the bar high for this project. You should be
working on it throughout the school year
and even longer if you want. Try to think of
a not
9. My 20% Time Project
My friend and i are working together on a 20%
time project. Our project is to serve time at the
local humane society. It is something that we are
both passionate about and care about very
much. This was the perfect project because we
both love animals. We will also be coming up
with fundraising ideas that we could possibly do
to raise money for the humane society.
10. Running a Marathon
Training to run a marathon or even a
half marathon would be great for
someone that loves to run and wants
to achieve a big goal. It would feel
really good to tell people that you
ran in a big race like that.
11. Raising Money for Cancer
Everyone has been affected by cancer some how. You
could partner up with someone that has also been deeply
affected by cancer and you could come up with ideas to
raise and donate your profits to a cancer awareness
foundation.
12. Raising Money For Your School
This is a really good idea because you're showing school
spirit and is really rewarding to your community. Maybe
your school needs new equipment you could start a
fundraiser of some kind and save up money for your
school.
13. Setting A Goal For Your School
This is a awesome idea if you're a big sports person and
your team is willing to put in the effort along with you.
Maybe your dream is to win a districts title or even more
than that, trust me it can be done with hard work and a
coach that is there to support you.
