I. Decide
what you want to learn from this project. Think about what you
like to do and what you could do to be more skilled in that
area. Then, choose a topic. Dare to dream! Rather than
making a quick decision regarding your project, make a list
of all the possibilities. Seek advice and input from your family
and friends. Ask yourself, “What have I always wanted
to do or learn more about?” Write down your answers, no
matter how crazy they may sound; one of them just may be the
right focus for your project.
The selection of
a Culminating Project topic deserves a great deal of contemplation
and discussion. You should take the time to discover a topic
that will interest you and allow you to demonstrate the skills
that you have acquired in your formal education.
Restrictions that apply to a choice of
topic include:
it must be legal and meet district standards
your parent/guardian must agree with it
it should represent a learning stretch for
you
While your project
is designed to be an interesting and valuable learning experience,
limitations may be imposed because of safety and liability
issues. The Culminating Project Building Coordinator, along
with the Culminating Project Focus Group, will have final
approval. Generally speaking, the following projects will
not be approved: on-the-water or underwater activities, bungee-jumping,
skydiving, hang-gliding, mountain climbing, rappelling, extreme
snowboarding or skiing, in-line skating, skateboarding, bicycling,
paint balling, the use or making of weapons, activities involving
aircraft, racing of motorized vehicles, cheer or drill competitions,
tattooing or body piercing, or projects which involve any
type of worship.
