Capstone Showcase
Spring 2021
Welcome to the Spring 2021 Capstone Showcase! Our Capstone students have devoted an entire semester to independently researching topics they are passionate about.
Traditionally, Capstone projects take on many formats, including films, exhibits, presentations, displays, and more. Due to our current unprecedented circumstances, this year'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.
