    CHALLENGE OVERVIEW

    The GT department would like to invite our GT families to participate in our GT Family Challenge Series.  Our winter challenge there is "Design, Construct, Create". This challenge encourages GT students to use their curiosity, critical thinking skills, and creative problem-solving skills to develop a hands-on product based on a topic of interest. Gifted students in grades (1-12) can select from a list of enrichment challenges and design an innovative product of their choice. Detailed instructions are provided below in the "Resources" section. Students must submit a video via email of their final product to gtfbisd@fortbendisd.gov on or before Friday, January 17, 2025.  Do not forget, participants are required to register for this challenge by clicking on the link above!
