Eleanor Koepke Heisler's Capstone
My capstone project focuses on teen driver safety. After being able to drive for myself for almost 2 years I always notice how much different teens drive compared to others. Teens tend to be the number 1 cause of why car accidents happen out of recklessness and or just not understanding how things work on the road. I collaborated with CHOP in the teen driving program to try and get teens ages 16-17 free practice lessons along with having the chance to take your license test at a free cost. I created a survey to ask questions and gain a deeper understanding of teens who are interested in learning to drive. While doing this survey I found a common link many people’s parents don’t have the time to teach their kids and or don’t have the funds to pay for the practice test and driver’s license. After I figured that out. I wanted to go talk to the different classrooms to tell them that if they were to participate in this program they would be someone to help you practice with questions and physical driving and you wouldn’t have to pay because the Study is funded. Overall I wish I did talk to more people to let them know there are people there for them in that area of teen development.
