13 Seniors Share Their Capstone Projects

Thirteen seniors will showcase their Capstone projects in the Moncrief Library on Thursday, December 9, starting at 6:30 p.m. These projects take on many formats, including a podcast, online/virtual exhibits, presentations and displays.

Capstone at Fort Worth Country Day is an interdisciplinary, summary exercise consisting of four components: exploration, research, a final project and presentation. Its purpose: to foster intellectual curiosity, educational purpose and engagements as students conclude their Upper School experience at FWCD. The Capstone program provides time, structure and resources to develop a student's passion by examining questions beyond the constraints of traditional classes and academic disciplines. At its conclusion, students share their work with the School community and articulate their growth. 

All members of the community are invited to celebrate the culmination of the work and research of the following students: Landon Barker, Caroline Barlow, Akil Collins, Rogan Crumley, Kendall Lehman, Macie Mallick, Malinda Murphey, Sawyer Parker, Banner Robinson, Lily Senter, Clara Thomas, Kenna Wong and Josh Yoon.

The evening will include an opportunity to hear from a handful of students in live presentations, and all projects will be on display with the students available for Q&A. 

Capstone embodies FWCD’s core values. With expert mentors and supervisors as their guides, Capstone students learn from failure, stretch their abilities, try new endeavors, learn project management skills, assume leadership roles in the context of their projects, pursue known interests and passions, and discover new ones.
