What are projects?

A project is like building something fun using your toys, but with a plan.

Imagine you and your friends want to build the biggest castle ever in the sandbox. You don’t just throw sand everywhere; you decide who will bring the buckets, who will pour the water, and who will put the flags on top. That’s a project, it's when people work together to make something special by following steps.

What makes a project special?

A project has goals, like finishing your homework or making a paper airplane that flies far. It also has tasks, little jobs you do to reach the goal. For example:

  • You gather materials (like paper and glue).
  • You cut out shapes.
  • You put it all together.
