Sept. 25th Capstone Project, Capstone Project - What could you be?

 BLOG POST #4:   How does it make you feel when you see this wide range of capstone projects? Check in with your stress, excitement, motivation, and emotions as you begin to imagine your own work. Write down any ideas that start to swim in your head!

A capstone project is a difficult term to process when you don't even know where you want to start. From the beginning of the project being introduced, my brain has felt like it is constantly going not knowing where it is going to lead me too or which part of the brain is going to get pulled next.

It is like the pieces of a puzzle trying to connect, but not finding their way. Despite the many capstone project examples provided I still feel like I don't know where I am going with this. What do I want to spend weeks working on that is meaningful to me, but also that does not feel like a burden? It feels good to think about something that is important to you, but when I think about finding articles that deal with my project topic of choice or the idea of finding people to interview who may connect to what my project could be, it makes me feel more overwhelmed than anything, because it is like finding earth in space. While I enjoy viewing the many different approaches I can take with this project, my biggest concern at the moment is not knowing what I want to write about or spend time researching.

I ask myself, will I have the time and will I spend the necessary amount of time it mandates? At the same time, I question myself because I have had an idea for a minute, but I don't know if it can turn into my capstone project or what exactly it is I want to focus on. Currently, my idea has to do with parent involvement in their children's education. I don't know what I can do with this or where it can take me, but it something that I have been curious about. I also like the idea of understanding where one can find information about so many different resources in the city of Providence. I find it that it is hard to navigate support and resources in this city because there are too many and you don't know exactly where to start. I think for my project I would definitely do a PowerPoint presentation, but love the idea of doing a video or even using prezi something I've never used before. Oh, I don't know if this is helping, but I hope to soon find answers.
