The project I’m going to write about is called the growth mindset challenge. This project was a surprise to me because I had never heard of growth and fixed mindset until we started this project. We learned about a lot of things like Having grit and that failing is just the first attempt and learning and if you don’t fail then you wont learn. This project gave me a totally different perspective on school and the academic system. For example we learned that being intelligent doesn’t really mean anything and doesn’t get you anywhere. You can be intelligent but you need to have grit and perseverance to show that knowledge.
Our task was to make a growth mindset journal which we made an entry every time we learned about a new topic on growth mindset. You can view my growth mindset journal here

From learning about grit to learning about failure as a first attempt at learning it really taught me a lot and I feel that it will really help me not just academically but in the world as well.
Our final product was to make a growth mindset selfie which would have your goal for the school year and you would put a text of that goal over your the head of the selfie you took.
My goal for the school year was “ I will ask for help from trusted people about what should be the focus of my learning.
Overall from making my growth mindset journal to my growth mindset selfie this project was really interesting and I think it was a good subject to learn about as it can help us in anything like school or sports.
