THE CAPSTONE PRODUCT

Making stuff for your senior year…

THE TASK

The mission behind the Capstone Product process is simple: make a product related to your overall Senior Capstone Project.

THE TASK The Capstone manual defines the

PRODUCT as:

“something that the student plans, develops, and implements based on what they have learned through their experiences or research paper.”

“Examples of products are: inventions, models, events, policies/procedures, manual, campaigns, websites, apps or programs, etc.”

THE PROBLEM Unfortunately, this is not incredibly

helpful deciding what to actually DO for your product.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS Help may be found in thinking about WHY

your project is important and WHY you chose it.

Most of you wrote about this in the introduction & conclusion for your research paper.

BRAINSTORMING What does the audience (students,

teachers, parents, Nashville community) need to KNOW about your project?

Facts? Processes? Terms? Risks? Influence?

BRAINSTORMING, PT. 2 Once you determine what people need to

know, you can then determine HOW that information can be best delivered?
