PYP Exhibition
The PYP exhibition has a number of key purposes:
• To engage students in a long term inquiry project that connect them in “identifying, investigating and offering solutions to real life issues or problems”
• To provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate independence and responsibility for their own learning
• To demonstrate how students can take action as a result of their learning
• To celebrate the transition of learners from elementary to middle school
What It Isn’t…
• Not a Science Fair project
• Not adult-directed
• Not a “free for all”
