Senior Capstone Presentations

Seniors played a little “show and tell” with the juniors during a Capstone senior project Q&A session on April 7.

All Tallulah Falls School students select a capstone topic during the junior year, interview at least two experts in the capstone subject matter, then continue to research the topic during the senior year. The culminating project for the senior year requires several milestones before the final grade. Other requirements include an extensive research paper and a 10-minute speech, evaluated by community members.

According to Capstone Advisor Dallas Barron, the Q&A session required the students to highlight five facts from the project, create an infographic and be prepared to present and answer questions as juniors visited each table. “Today’s event provided a unique opportunity for our juniors to learn from the seniors while pushing the seniors to prove their knowledge by asking thoughtful questions,” Barron said.

The Capstone project gives students the opportunity to showcase to students, teachers and staff their passion, research, and experience gained from their chosen topic.
