The Community Working Together
Grade 9 Take Action Project
This project was an immersive experience for Grade 9 students during two weeks in March.
During the first week:
Students heard from individuals working in the innovation space, either in Silicon Valley, or in the Toronto-Waterloo corridor. They used these inspirations to select a local issue they were passionate about: energy, environment, health, inequality, or transportation.
