The Get Active! event, unlike other events, is being planned, managed, and run by a group of high school students. Being part of the Studio program at North Gwinnett High School, the five freshman get opportunities to create real-world projects unlike many others. Get Active! was one of the projects completed by Gabriel Amoako, Collin Cook, Kevin Coyne, Ashay Sheth, and Jack Wells. Basing their project around Suwanee, the group researched the city, its history, its population, along with sources of revenue and planned an event to demonstrate how these categories tie together. After the completion of the project in the class, the group decided to continue in creating their event, getting them involved in the community and teaching them many valuable life skills. Goal: Plan, manage, and run a well-organized event that offers guests and attendees a enjoyable and memorable experience along with encouraging activity throughout life. |
