When I was at nursing school we once did a project about the relationship between nurses and patients. I worked with a group of friends and our project was a conversation between a nurse and a patient. I played the patient, one of my friends played the nurse and a second friend videotaped the conversation. I had to play a patient who complained all the time, and my friend had to handle the situations and answer my comments. It was a lot of fun to improvise and we also learned a lot. Another time we did a project about incontinence and one part of the project was a "fashion show" where we demostrated the the different kinds of adult diapers and talked about the advantages and differences. What is the most interesting school project you have done? And why did you enjoy that project? Did you work alone or with a group?

I think my favorite school project thus far was when one of my super-artsy teachers told us she wanted us to get a journal or notebook and just fill it with things that we love and our ideas and whatnot. I was like, Seriously? I do that all the time, now I get to get a grade for it? That was probably the most fun I ever had doing a school project. I would draw mermaids and write stories and dreams in my notebook and when anyone told me I was wasting time I would be like, "But I'm doing my HOMEWORK!" lol

I wish my teacher had asked me to do something like that. That would have been fun and easy as I already have many notebooks like that. I haven't keep all of my old notebooks, but over the years I have filled lots of them with stories, poems, dreams, goals, ideas, drawings and other things, so it would have been great to get a grade for something like that

It was a super fun assignment. I still keep loads of journals and notebooks like it, but I loved that one because there was something so official about it. I got to share a little bit of it in class and my teacher was pretty surprised that I'd filled the whole thing up, but I told the class that I'd been journaling for forever and stuff like this was second nature to me already.

Hi Porcospino!. I think project that I enjoy most is craft. I love to made something with my hand and realize it become something I can use. I particularly enjoying making bag with crochet. Its something I learn at school and its really useful until this day. I wanna to learn to knit too but I don't have time right now. I believe by combine both I will got something new.

I also enjoyed the craft lessons at school. I learned to knit at school and that is one of the things that I still use today. I am knitting a blanket at the moment, it is a big project but I enjoy it. I have never learned to crochet and we didn't do that at my school, so my situation is the opposite of yours. I would like to learn to crochet one day. I think it is great that you are able to use the things that you learned, I feel the same way about knittting

For me, I have two. One in high school and one which I had just finished. In high school, I remember the teachers wanted us to make a model of an organism, so for the project I teamed up with my friend and it's just the two of us. Well, I loved it because my friend and I had a lot of fun with it. We even made fun of the names that the organism had. The friend who partnered me was also my closest friend. Now comes the project that I had finished about less than a week ago. I was tasked to buy a shirt and the class was taught how to make designs on it and then print our own designs onto it using fabric paint. This module was called fashion. At first, I didn't like it that much because fashion, to me, wasn't that appealing. But when I went through the process, like designing, ironing the designs, using the paint, I found out that I liked it. Then came the last week, when we were supposed to hand up our finished T-shirt and a Powerpoint slide to hand in to the upper authorities. I was happy as I had learned a lot of things from this module and most importantly, I had learned how to print designs onto a shirt. More importantly, my teacher complimented my design and was very happy with it and when I asked whether after marking, can I take it home, and she said yes. I am really looking forward to that now

I really enjoyed my bio AP project. We had to make up an experiment with all the data and conclusions. I said I worked with split brain epileptic patients and studied whether they could undergo unihemispheric sleep in stressful situations. Ducks undergo this type of sleep when they suspect a predator near them so they can literally keep an eye out for them. Dolphins and other cetaceans also undergo this type of sleep and don't need as much sleep as we do. It was fun giving the presentation and making up answers to real questions that people were asking in class.

I enjoy doing a project with a group in the sense that work is divided and that less pressure is encountered. Not to mention the enjoyment that you can have with the people that you want to work with.

I liked the project in our 7th grade in which we made wind mills and water turbines. We generated enough electricity to light a bulb. It was an amazing experience!

I really liked one project in Theory of Knowledge (senior year of high school) we had to take one social issue and make an oral report on it, with visualizations. We had to break it down and explain different fallacies and whatnot of it. It's hard to explain, but it was really enjoyable and had a lot of room for freedom - you got to choose your project, how you were to present it, and who you got to work with. I ended up getting a B despite my hard work... But I enjoyed it nonetheless.

I really enjoy the time when we're making our feasibility study for a new innovation of product. That was really exciting and rewarding. We've been to a lot of places to make surveys and interviews, met professional people of different field, having straight days of sleepless nights to meet deadlines, the arguments of our groupmates and exchanging of ideas, doing some mess and trial and terror, making our own prototype of the product and the defense and presentation of FS. After of all effort we've got the grade of 1.25=98% in our own class cards.
