The CAS Project
|
Every student enrolled in the IB Diploma Programme (DP) is required to complete a CAS Project in their CAS Portfolio.
A CAS project is a collaborative, well-thought out series of sequential experiences where you engage in one or more of the CAS strands. It is required that students have at least one CAS project during their time in the Diploma Programme. The goal of the CAS project is to ensure participation in sustained collaboration where students interact with members of the wider community. The CAS project offers students the opportunity to be responsible for or to initiate a part of the entire CAS project. |
CAS Strands Creativity -- exploring and extending ideas leading to an original or interpretive product or performance Activity -- physical exertion contributing to a healthy lifestyle Service -- collaborative and reciprocal engagement with the community in response to an authentic need |
CAS Project Requirements
-A minimum of one month is recommended for a CAS Project from planning to completion. This does not have to be a full calendar month. For example, you could start planning it in January and revisit the plan in February and execute it for two weeks in March.
- It must include at least two of the CAS strands. (Creativity, Activity, Service.)
Can I work with someone else on a CAS Project?
- Absolutely! However, all those who are going to use it as their CAS Project need to be involved in the planning and execution stages. It is also really important that you make sure that you each do individual entries in to Managebac and they are varied and different reflections.
