Helpful Hints

HELPFUL TIPS:

  • Choose a topic that you like/ feel passionate about because this is a semester long course
  • Try learning something NEW - a new skill or technology. Check out the MakerSpace!!
  • Choose a topic with adequate subtopics to research, as research is a large component of this project
  • Meet all deadlines and complete all assignments. (Formative assignments become the Summative Project)
  • Plan Ahead! Find a mentor! Create a Timeline and stick to it!
  • Try taking the Capstone during your Junior Year - this is for students who are self-directed and very motivated as it's an Independent Study Course
  • Meet with a Capstone Teacher or Mrs. Goraieb before taking the course to discuss your interests
  • Talk with upperclassmen who were successful in the Capstone Course


That Would Make a Great Capstone
