Grade 12 experience ideas
Did you develop a new interest/hobby? Engaged in CAD modeling projects throughout high school, I discovered a rational yet creative side within me, turning the most absurd 1am ideas of 3D printed toothbrush holders and eyewear into creations. But it was IB biology class discussions that introduced me to something new.
