This year, the MYP 11 students successfully presented their Personal Projects — projects they had worked on diligently and devotedly for months. Through research, planning, maintaining their journals, and final presentations, they demonstrated how much knowledge, creativity, and perseverance they could invest in topics that truly inspire them.
Visitors from other classes had the opportunity to tour the exhibition, speak with the students, and explore a wide range of interesting and diverse projects. Each project carried a unique story, idea, and personal touch of its creator. We had the chance to see comic creation projects for lovers of art and reading, a digital design of an eco stadium, fascinating insect models showing their internal structure — which attracted great attention from visitors — as well as a 3D model of the Solar System.
Particular interest was sparked by projects related to astronomy, Greek mythology, ecology, and many other topics. Through creative models, handmade toys, and presentations, students brought stories about gods such as Zeus and Athena to life, while also drawing attention to important issues such as the impact of plastic on the living world. Some projects focused on practical knowledge and skills — how to write a scientific report, how to create and enjoy music, and how to use an emergency application that helps people recognize dangerous situations and quickly react by contacting emergency services.
What especially marked this event were the students’ enthusiasm, dedication, and courage to transform their ideas into concrete projects. Throughout the entire process, they demonstrated responsibility, persistence, and a willingness to explore, learn, and overcome challenges. The Personal Project was not only a school assignment, but also an opportunity for students to develop independence, creative thinking, and self-confidence, and to enter the DP world that awaits them next school year fully prepared.
We are proud of their hard work, knowledge, and the energy they invested in every detail of their projects. Their work showed how much young people can achieve when they work with passion, motivation, and a genuine desire to share their ideas with others.
