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.
