Passion Projects · 2026–27 · Grades 4 to 9

148 questions,
one morning.

This was never a research project. It was a creation project — twelve weeks in which every learner from Grade 4 to Grade 9 chose one thing they wanted to know, make or master, and made something real out of it. On Saturday morning, all of it is on display.

a few projects refuse to sit in one box — you'll find them in both

Behind every table

Twelve weeks, from May to July.

Each project moved through four phases. Five of those weeks ran through the summer break, at home — which is why so much of what you'll see is a physical thing, made with materials fetched from a market or a hardware shop.

Phase One

Discover

04 → 16 May

Wondering widely, then narrowing to one topic that felt genuinely theirs.

Phase Two

Research

18 May → 12 Jun

Beyond the internet — people to interview, places to visit, real books, their own observations.

Phase Three

Create

15 Jun → 11 Jul

Making it real. Mostly at home, over the break, with an Advisor a message away.

Phase Four

Present

13 → 24 Jul

A practice run in front of peers, then feedback, then the real thing.

Shapes a project could take: an original artwork · a piece of writing · fiction or poetry · a science experiment · an invention or design · a new initiative

For visitors

Come ready to witness, not to evaluate.

Nothing here is graded or ranked. Four things worth carrying in with you.

Be fully there

Listen with real attention. For a child who has carried an idea for twelve weeks, an adult who actually listens is the whole reward.

Ask about the process

What was hard? What broke? What would you do differently? The journey matters as much as the thing on the table.

Skip the comparisons

Avoid “which was the best one?” Comparison is corrosive in work this personal — every project answers a different question.

Praise effort, not polish

“This looks professional” sends the wrong signal. The proudest projects are often the most imperfect — because they are entirely the learner's own.

“What part of this surprised you about yourself?”The most generous question you can ask

The map

A hundred and forty-eight projects, seven worlds.

Two hours, 148 projects — nobody sees them all, and that is fine. Filter by world or by grade, search for a name or an idea, or let the map pick one for you.

“The purity of childhood is the best time to explore one's passions.”
