[Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) **Ever built a *house*?** Well that’s exactly what a group of dedicated Westtown students were up to on campus as a part of Senior Projects and Project Based Learning Week. ![iPadFeatured-Image](https://blog.westtown.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Inside_Connection/ewc_WestonianSpring40620150011300555-S.jpg?width=300&name=ewc_WestonianSpring40620150011300555-S.jpg "iPadFeatured-Image")Not only was a sense of empowerment palpable in my interviews with the students, but perhaps most encouraging of all, they loved the work they were doing. As supporters of these students, we strive to not only provide a progressive education that benefits them most effectively, but also one that allows them to fall in love with the acts of learning and creating positive change.    Topics: [Student Life at Westtown](https://blog.westtown.edu/westonians/topic/student-life-at-westtown), [Senior Projects](https://blog.westtown.edu/westonians/topic/senior-projects) ![Karl Vela '03](https://blog.westtown.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Inside_Connection/vela.jpg?width=300&height=300&name=vela.jpg) #### Written by [Karl Vela '03](https://blog.westtown.edu/westonians/author/karl-vela-03) ### Subscribe to have new videos automatically emailed to you! **The Middle School iPad Program could never have been implemented without the generous support of our community.** **[![Make a Donation to Student Programs & Services](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/394143/d4e81fff-5716-4942-9dc5-5f062a40880a.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/394143/d4e81fff-5716-4942-9dc5-5f062a40880a)** [View all blog posts](https://blog.westtown.edu/connection) ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Topic - [Student Life at Westtown (9)](https://blog.westtown.edu/westonians/topic/student-life-at-westtown) - [Arts (2)](https://blog.westtown.edu/westonians/topic/arts) - [Quakerism (2)](https://blog.westtown.edu/westonians/topic/quakerism) - [Religious Life Committee (2)](https://blog.westtown.edu/westonians/topic/religious-life-committee) - [Technology (2)](https://blog.westtown.edu/westonians/topic/technology) - [Senior Projects (1)](https://blog.westtown.edu/westonians/topic/senior-projects) - [athletics (1)](https://blog.westtown.edu/westonians/topic/athletics) - [sustainability (1)](https://blog.westtown.edu/westonians/topic/sustainability) see all 975 Westtown Road West Chester, PA 19382 610.399.0123 [Contact Us](http://www.westtown.edu/page.cfm?p=498#) - - - - [Apply Now](https://mbp.westtown.edu/SeniorApps/facelets/registration/loginCenter.xhtml?appId=AD) [Make A Gift](http://www.westtown.edu/page.cfm?p=979) Westtown School, a Quaker Pre-K -12th grade co-ed, private, college preparatory day and boarding school, offers a challenging and diverse curriculum that emphasizes critical thinking, collaboration, service and social action.
