Senior Capstone
A mid-year project for Wunsche seniors, allowing them to demonstrate their
accomplishments in Career and Technical Education. This project is an assessment of
your ability to design and participate in a multi-phased, research-based learning process, while preparing for your future in higher education,
technical institutions, or the workforce.

What do CWHS Alumni tell us about Capstone?
![Page 4: Senior Capstone](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56812cf8550346895d91c526/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
“Researching a topic is the first thing you will be expected to do at work or in college - I already knew what to do – I actually helped my classmates.”
“My employer asked me to research a new product – “I got this!”
“Thanks for making me do this, I would have been lost in college without it!”

5 Elements of the Capstone

![Page 6: Senior Capstone](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56812cf8550346895d91c526/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How Do I Choose A Topic and turn it in to a
Proposal?
![Page 7: Senior Capstone](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56812cf8550346895d91c526/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Choosing a TopicThe topic will: – reflect the student’s particular interests and goals
in their chosen career pathway – be timely and creative and real-world– be based on a NEW TREND/PROCESS, a
NEED/PRODUCT, or a PROBLEM/SOLUTION
VS.
![Page 8: Senior Capstone](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56812cf8550346895d91c526/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Wider ViewMoving from a topic to a proposal involves developing a “wider view”. This means using your skills and knowledge to go from just learning about a topic; to figuring out the issues and how you can make a difference.
Two questions you need to answer in Capstone:
•Who is affected by the trend/problem/need I am addressing?
•How will my process/solution/product benefit those who are affected?
