Morphology

classroom + project

The meaning 'a project carried out as part of schoolwork' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'classroom' (place of lessons) with 'project' (planned piece of work). This noun+noun composition is a productive, literal pattern found across languages and would be readily inferable by a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

Classroom project comes from the simple picture of students in a classroom working on a big project, like building a model or making a poster together. This image explains why it means a school 'assignment' that needs 'research', 'teamwork', or creative work.
