[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any recent ideas for 2024? we were told we can only provide 2 examples of work... so trying to make the most of it[/quote]

It doesn't matter what anyone else put. Put whatever your kid has done that made you go, "Whoa." For my kid, that was puns and jokes he had written himself during his phase where he wanted a career "telling jokes on tv". I thought it showed fabulous mastery of the english language and creativity, and many of them were really clever.  I also put photos of a book he wrote and illustrated crossing characters from two other books he'd read. I felt it showed he had a really high reading comprehension level (was able to pull relevant bits from both series), and again, creativity and mastery of the english language.

I did not put any math examples, because his math test scores were through the roof and I didn't feel I needed anything extra there.

The only thing I have heart definitively from AARTs is "no legos".[/quote]

Focus on the new H.O.P.E. rating sheet; it replaces the old GBRS.  It also acknowledges:

STEAM, instead of just STEM, to include arts.  Too many parents don’t think to submit:

- dance / piano recitals
- interesting art work
- sculptures or pictures of sculptures
- videos of Karate or other martial art
- a play or skit they have been in.

All of these can be evindence of talent and intelligence.  They have their own category right in the rating sheet.[/quote]
