PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Your Capstone Project can be presented in many different ways or styles. What form is your Capstone Project going to take? What will your final project look like? This is your chance to be creative!
Here are some examples of Capstone Projects that high school students in the US have created:
We have provided 5 different Capstone Styles to give you an idea of what form your Capstone Project can take.
The 5 Capstone Styles are:
RESEARCH CAPSTONE
This Capstone Style is an academic research paper. Do you love reading and writing? This style is ideal for students who are curious about a specific area of study and would like to have the opportunity to further explore, research, and gain knowledge.
EVENT CAPSTONE
An Event Capstone allows you to research, create and host your own event. Planned events should connect with your topic of interest and should provide opportunity for other students, teachers, parents, and community members to participate.
PROJECT CAPSTONE
The main focus of the Project Capstone is to create a tangible object. A Project Capstone can relate to a possible career choice, it can be an extension of prior knowledge, an opportunity to attempt new learning, or a way to help construct something that you feel will benefit your community.
ENTREPRENEURIAL CAPSTONE
This Capstone allows students to experience the start of a new business initiative, the building and execution of an idea from the ground up.
Your approach to this Capstone Style can be cross-curricular, experiential, and community-based.
SERVICE CAPSTONE
The main focus of the Service Capstone is for students to research an issue of interest that
is affecting their community and develop and implement a solution.
Students will devote a minimum of 25 hours outside of school to a community or service
project. Community service is work done by a person or group of people that benefits
others. It is often done near the area where you live, so your local community can
benefit from your service.
Today you will receive a booklet that outlines each Capstone Style in greater detail. Like your Capstone Proposal, this document must be uploaded to myBlueprint.
