How to make your own project

Schools: Every student must be linked with a participating school. Schools can post online pages containing information about the school, its teachers and students. A teacher or other adult is responsible for coordination. The school account also can contain a portfolio, selected from among the works the students mark Share in their own portfolios . Explore the pages of other schools to get ideas about the types of projects you’d like to take on. And you can partner with schools anywhere in the world to explore new questions and form new relationships. Project Happiness staff will help you with this process.
