My Project

This unit empowers 11th-grade students to become active, responsible citizens by organizing and executing a successful blood drive. Through hands-on experience, students will develop critical skills in project management, marketing, communication, and community engagement, while understanding the vital role of blood donation in healthcare.

Students will learn about the process of donating blood, then give presentations to other students to try and get them to sign up.

They will use the clip boards to organize their forms. The laminator will aid them in creating flyers around the school. Students will also create a blood drive logo and print it on shirts for them to wear. IF other donors would also like shirts, we can work with the digital media teacher to create more (at his cost).

On the day of the blood drive, we will offer blood donors all the snacks gifted to us. We will also use the forks and plates for the additional food I will provide.

My goal for this project is to get AT LEAST 60 people signed up for the blood drive.
