Projects

CAS experience can be a single event or may be an extended series of events.

A CAS project is a collaborative series of sequential CAS experiences lasting at least one month.

A CAS experience must:

  • fit within one or more of the CAS strands

  • be based on a personal interest, skill, talent or opportunity for growth

  • provide opportunities to develop the attributes of the IB learner profile

  • not be used or included in the student’s Diploma course requirements

Questions to consider:

  • Will the experience be enjoyable?

  • Does the experience allow for development of personal interests, skills and/or talents?

  • What new possibilities or challenges could the experience provide?

  • What might be the possible consequences of your CAS experience for you, others and the environment?

  • Which CAS learning outcomes may be addressed?
