An introduction to the Product requirement of the MNPS Capstone project

1. THE CAPSTONE PRODUCT
Making stuff for your senior year…

2. THE TASK
The mission
behind the
Capstone
Product process
is simple: make
a product related
to your overall
Senior Capstone
Project.

3. THE TASK
 The Capstone manual defines the PRODUCT
as:
“something that the student plans, develops, and
implements based on what they have learned
through their experiences or research paper.”
“Examples of products are: inventions, models,
events, policies/procedures, manual, campaigns,
websites, apps or programs, etc.”

4. THE PROBLEM
 Unfortunately, this is not incredibly helpful
deciding what to actually DO for your product.

5. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
 Help may be found in thinking about WHY your
project is important and WHY you chose it.
 Most of you wrote about this in the introduction
& conclusion for your research paper.

6. BRAINSTORMING
 What does the audience (students, teachers,
parents, Nashville community) need to KNOW
about your project?
 Facts?
 Processes?
 Terms?
 Risks?
 Influence?

7. BRAINSTORMING, PT. 2
 Once you determine what people need to know,
you can then determine HOW that information can
be best delivered?
 Models
 Campaigns (a series of posters, banners, and
brochures)
 Performance
 Video
 Artwork
 Technology
