Head Royce Science Project

The other that really lit him up last year was the required science project, which was entirely open to any topic of their choosing. He prepared a project on the influence of music listening on mental agility, by having subjects perform web-boggle games while listening to classical music, up-tempo music, and silence. He chose it because, he told me, his parents were often giving him a hard time about listening to music while doing his homework, and he wanted to demonstrate that it didn’t negatively impact his learning. I love this: the project-based learning, the students’ open-ended choice, and the way the activity had such personal relevance for him.
