My Project

My students needs materials, including, cards, shoe laces, panitn brushes, velcro, rubber bands, and duct tape to create projects in order to participate in Beta competitions. Here are some key reasons why participating in BETA competitions is beneficial:

Encourages Academic Excellence – Competitions motivate students to push their intellectual limits, deepening their understanding of literature, science, math, and other subjects.

Builds Collaboration & Teamwork – Many events, like the Book Battle, require students to work together, fostering communication and problem-solving skills.

Enhances Critical Thinking & Analysis – Students must analyze information, recall details, and make connections, improving their comprehension and reasoning abilities.

Boosts Confidence & Leadership – Presenting ideas, competing, and working as a team in a public setting builds self-esteem and leadership qualities.
