Students in Technology 8 classes will spend the majority of the trimester working on a global project called The JOY Project. JOY stands for "Journey of You" and will ask students to look deep within themselves to find what brings them joy. The main goal of the project is to encourage students to look beyond today, to look beyond their circumstances, and find joy in the little things in life. Only when we do that can we find contentment.
As part of the project, each student will create his/her own website which will include a variety of required elements:
