STUDENT LEARNING PROJECTS

Welcome!

Willowwind’s focus on project-based learning provides students with opportunities to learn through a wide variety of independent and group projects. Whether researching and writing scripts for a play on immigration, or combining art and literacy to create a personal timeline, multi-faceted projects like these allow students to approach and explore academic topics from many angles.

The Great iowa city mural hunt
