At Kaohsiung American School’s IB Personal Project Exhibition, Grade 10 students presented the results of over a year of independent, self-directed learning centered on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Guided by mentors but driven by their own curiosity, students explored real-world issues across sustainability, technology, and social impact. Projects ranged from founding student-led environmental initiatives and designing inclusive magnetic clothing solutions, to conducting advanced quantum computing research using IBM Qiskit to analyze how quantum noise affects teleportation fidelity.
