May 10-June 4, 2010

What is a Senior Project?

an opportunity a challenge a capstone activity

How do I find a project?

figure out what you might want to do talk to your parents, advisor, teachers,

form dean, anyone! read past senior project proposals

When is this due?

Friday, March 5, 2010

What is due?

project proposal form signed by your parents form signed by your faculty advisor form signed by the on-site sponsor resume

I think I have an idea….

Contact someone to learn more information Write a resume so you can share it with the

contact person Give the resume and a description of the senior

project to the contact person Maybe the contact person will become your on-

site sponsor

Who is the on-site sponsor?

the person who has agreed to supervise your 4 week senior project

this person is your mentor for these 4 weeks

a person who evaluates your work on your senior project

I have plenty of time….

No, you don’t!

Don’t Wait!

It takes time to identify a senior project It takes time to identify the on-site sponsor

and work through the details It takes time to write an acceptable

proposal It takes time to write a resume

Help!

Go the EA website and look at the information posted for the Senior Project

Read previous proposals (available in the library and in the senior form deans office)

Speak to faculty members, parents, and your form dean

Come to one of the senior project help sessions which will announced in the bulletin

Get Started! Don’t Wait!
