Upper School
Capstone Showcase
Fall 2020
Welcome to the Fall 2020 Capstone Showcase! Our Capstone students have devoted an entire semester to independently researching topics they are passionate about. Many of these students will go on to pursue degrees and careers in the fields of their research.
Traditionally, Capstone projects take on many formats, including films, exhibits, presentations, displays, and more. Due to our current unprecedented circumstances, this semester's students have prepared virtual presentations to display their growth. Below you will find a link to each student's presentation along with a brief video introduction to their projects.
I am so very proud of these students and their work this semester. Enjoy the presentations.
