Presented in Spanish, this project is an initiative by students to promote inclusive and engaging sports activities within their school community. Through interviews, surveys, and analysis, they discovered that while intramural sports already existed at their school, student participation was limited. As a result, they shifted their focus to improving awareness and accessibility by suggesting more varied activities, inclusive rules, and eye-catching promotional efforts. Their ultimate goal is to foster a positive, united, and active school environment.
