This course is designed and preferred as a senior level course that will partner students with business partners and community members. This project based learning course will provide students with the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills acquired in their courses to a specific problem or issue. This course will allow students to extend their academic experience into areas of personal interest, working with new ideas, issues, organizations, and individuals. In addition, students will be able to apply design concepts and utilize newly updates learning labs (STEM, Wildcats Business Innovation Center) to create prototypes or presentations and participate in workshops for supportive instructions (leadership, presentation, networking). There is no limit to what a student can do to challenge themselves and learn and help others in the process. Most importantly, the Capstone should represent an area of focus that they are passionate about, drive high levels of inquiry and will have fun doing.
Prerequisite:
Students apply for acceptance in program
1.5 credits of courses taken in a CTE pathway
Panel presentation is required at the end of the course.
