GREAT INVENTORY []

__** CAPSTONE PROJECT IMFORMATION **__ A capstone project often involves many hours of work, and the students are also required to give a 15-30-minute public presentation about their project. Ultimately, each student project should make an excellent example of what project based learning is all about, and should include contributions from multiple subjects, the assistance of one or more community experts, and the final product should be something of lasting importance that will contribute to the future development of both the student and the community.

Capstones make sure that students have found a topic they are interested in and have explored it deeply. You can have capstone projects built into seminars and these can be effective but it should not be confused with a student creating a capstone project based on an area of interest.
