“In my time in The Center, I have gained the ability to research a topic, filter our the unnecessary information, and create a informed project to communicate a problem and solution. One benefit of The Center is the amount of freedom you have to go off on your own. A student in The Center can pick a path that interests them and design their own process for how they would like to complete the task.”
