Defining your Capstone project
The Capstone Project can be defined as a: Experiment/Research, Event, Project, Occupation/Entrepreneur, or Service Oriented Capstone Project. It is a culminating or final senior project that will allow students to demonstrate their learning in an in-depth study of an area of interest. Ideally the project would involve the collaboration with a mentor and reflect an area that students are passionate about and in which they anticipate pursuing further learning, investigation and/or a career pathway.
The purpose of the Capstone process & presentation is to CELEBRATE individual learning, growth, transition plans and achievements across a student’s journey!
