As the school year comes to a close, students in GT Humanities are showcasing their research projects through interactive booths at the annual Renaissance Fair in the library. The event will take place tomorrow and Friday, giving students the opportunity to present what they have learned throughout the quarter in a creative and engaging way.
Students created booths centered around different topics connected to economics and its impact on society. According to GT Humanities teacher Elizabeth Evans, the project is designed to combine research with hands-on learning.
“They’re producing a booth that we would have in a Renaissance Fair that’s going to be interactive and so people will come and visit their booth and they’ll learn about their topic and the impact of economics on their topic,” Evans said.
The project also allows students to express their creativity by deciding how they want to design and present their displays.
“I think the Renaissance Fair is like a great and creative way to help students show what they’ve learned over economics over this past quarter,” freshman Aaradhana Srinivasan said. “There’s a lot of places where you can use creativity. We have a lot of ways to design our projects like how we want and it’s really a great creative outlet as well as bridging what we’ve learned so far. So, I think it’s really fun and I’m enjoying doing it so far.”
