What is the theme of the group project? What was your part in the project? What was the hardest part of creating the Senior Project? What was the easiest?

The theme of our group project is time travel, bringing back photos from last year to now and condensing two years of memories into three minutes. I helped consolidate photos and videos as well as assisted in finding appropriate music to go with the video. The hardest part of the senior project was deciding what to do in terms of time and resources. The easiest part was finding the photos as we have a Facebook Page for the school and most of the photos are on there, and I took a lot of photos throughout the years on my phone.

Senior Farewell Project

1. Who is in your group? Caitlin, Abby, Dorsa, and Hannah are in the group.
2. Our project is a lip dub that will take place at Prom, creating a music video with the footage we capture. We will also have a few students saying good bye to the teachers and RCHS.
3. I am contributing by filming and taking part in the video by being either a bystander or in front of the camera, singing a piece of the song.

Capstone Presentations

I had my info graphic on one side of my table as well as a binder that had my exploratory essay and final capstone essay. I also had two jars with monopoly money inside to visually illustrate the money one would spend on ACTIVE SATISFACTION, my end product, versus traditional physical therapy. I also had my laptop with the leapmotion controller behind a TV monitor to safely display my end product without having people crowd around and so I could present easily.

My Capstone presentation started with how I personally experienced the financial burden of having to pay for physical therapy after my sister broke her ankle. I then moved onto my research and the other problems associated with traditional physical therapy. I wanted to find a cheaper alternative and came to my end product of ACTIVE SATISFACTION, which is a leapmotion video game that allows children from low income families to receive physical therapy by flying a rocketship.

My experience was rather pleasant. People were very interested in my presentation, and a lot of people came by on the recommendation of others that have already seen my presentation. Although I had to wait quite a while, my judges were very thoroughly and asked appropriate questions. The hardest part of my presentation was definitely setup because we had to wait a while before we knew which table was ours and I had to bring in two extension cords and my monitor. The most fun was seeing people's reaction towards my capstone. It made me feel like I did a really nice job. Capstone was not as bad as I thought it would be.
