Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Being your own kind of beautiful consists of being who we are from the inside first, and then expressing that beauty outwardly. In this Quest, we will journey through discovering our inward beauty and learn to embrace the qualities that make us all uniquely beautiful. We will also develop our entrepreneurial skills through cosmetic DIY projects that we will market and sell to the public.

This Quest will help students embrace the beauty within themselves and learn some effective steps in becoming an entrepreneur.

The goal is to enlighten and embrace all of our natural-born beauty and allow students to find creative ways to channel their emotions.

Grades 9-12
