Senior Capstone Project
Culminating STEAM Experience
The senior seminar & capstone course utilizes an inquiry-based framework to investigate real world problems from a STEAM perspective. Students collect and analyze information from various sources to develop evidence-based arguments. Problems are examined in small groups and as individuals, and arguments are evaluated and presented in the form of essays and multimedia presentations. The course culminates with a capstone project involving independent research on a question or problem of the student’s choosing.
