Tyrone Grant's Capstone

Posted by Tyrone Grant in Senior Capstone · Epps · ILP/TFI/CAP on Monday, May 21, 2018 at 12:27 pm

The goal for my group's senior capstone was to implement what we've learned in engineering and use it to create something fun and interesting.   So the first thing that came up in our minds was to create a go-kart. The idea was a long-shot, but we believed that it was actually possible to make one in the amount of time given. With the collaboration of our mentor Sal, we've been able to make our goal become reachable. So far, we have created most of the critical pieces needed to make a go-kart by using computer design programs (AutoDesk and SolidWorks) which we've learned in engineering, and bought other pieces such as the engine and clutch. We've also put some of the pieces together to see if they fit and function properly. Even though we've made good progress, we're not done with the overall project unfortunately. We still need to weld all the pieces together such as the frame, and axle. In my own perspective, I believe that this capstone displays the best of my engineering abilities such as using different CADs, collaborating with other people, and using my time proficiently, which are aspects that are needed in life.

Ivana Gutierrez's Capstone

Posted by Ivana Gutierrez in Senior Capstone · Epps · ILP/TFI/CAP on Friday, May 18, 2018 at 11:22 pm

As the year ends we are close to presenting our final project for the year! For my senior capstone I decided to be a bit more creative with myself. I chose to do special effects makeup (sfx), because of my capstone I believe it allowed me to demonstrate of what I am capable of doing and also I believe it’s a fun way of being creative. What I did for project was make two videos, one of the process and the other of all the final looks. Each look took me about an hour and half to create. In the video everything is sped up so it wouldn’t be a long video when someone is watching it. I created three different looks but similar at the same time, they were all horror and gore. The first one I created was a scary clown and I used my brother as the model for it. The second look I created was a torn off face and the last look I created was monster with scary teeth. Both those I created on myself. From creating this project I learned that there is another side of just using regular makeup, there is also other ways to be creative and that hopefully this can inspire others to try something different.

​For my Capstone, I have been looking over the essays that I have written throughout my high school career, and I challenged myself to choose a few essays that resemble my overall growth as a writer. This was quite difficult as writing is one of my strengths and passions. However, I did not let this get the better of myself. Upon looking through the essays with a critical eye, I was able to easily pick out essays that resemble my growth as a writer. I chose this as my capstone because I wanted to challenge myself to not only find out whether or not I successfully create a project that exhibits my writing, both as a passion and strength, but to also see how far I have grown as a writer and reflect on the overall impacts that writing had upon my life.

Senior Capstone - Santana Outlaw

​For my senior capstone, I made the decision to focus on student activism. My passion for politics has been strongly represented throughout my 4 years in SLA@Beeber, through projects, classwork assignments, and class discussions. In order to represent said passion, I decided to document student activist moments. The video is only a portion of my entire capstone, so it's shorter in length. I made the decision to give back to the school community by creating a space where political views are shared with no judgement. The name of the club is Fundamental Rights for Everyone, Everywhere (F.R.E.E.) Club. 
I created this video to show off students/teenagers that aren't just lazy kids. We sacrifice our time to give back to our communities, fight for our rights, and prioritize our lives. Students can too, be activists. In fact, society's youth often begin new trends; it's never denounced that our voices have recently had an influx of impact. Even though the word spread about my club, I feel as though this was a great opportunity to talk about the importance of student/youth involvement in politics. Too often, I've seen my peers pretend to care about an issue just for the sake of saying something. There's also the concern that it'd be overwhelming. I wanted this video to show the softer and less heated side of protests and politics-based discussions.
I hope people benefit from my efforts in the school, and that students here keep the motivation to fight.

Asmar Beyah - Capstone

Posted by Asmar Beyah in Senior Capstone · Epps · ILP/TFI/CAP on Thursday, May 17, 2018 at 11:51 pm

For my capstone, I wanted to focus on African American hairstyles and hair care because of how much i care about my own hair. I wanted to make a video and inform my peers on the history of African American hairstyles and hair care. The video contains content about the struggles of “black hair”, where we get our inspiration from with our new hairstyles and products, and also how has hair and hair products evolved. I also talked about people who influenced our hair. The video is a digitized timeline where I date back information as far as the 1400s. I feel as though this is important because a lot of people in SLA@Beeber have now been taking care of their hair and it is starting to become a trend in our school. You can walk down the halls and hear females students talking about different hairstyles they want or different hair products they use. For the young men in our school, a lot of them have been brushing their hair or wearing a durag, not as a fashion statement but as a way to care for their hair. I want people to know where their hair products and hairstyles originated from. I feel as though that will make people will appreciate their hair more if they learn the information I will give them.

Janelle Fields Capstone

For my Senior Capstone, I decided to set the volleyball team, that I was able to lead for my senior year, up for success. I wanted to leave them and new teammates with new supplies, skills, and a sense of family within our team. I worked with my mentor and volleyball coach, Ms. Moran, and the Athletic Director, Ms.Lawson, to research and order new supplies for our team. Thankfully, we were grateful enough to have all of our items approved, purchased, and set up. Following this process, Ms.Moran and I held open gyms twice a month to recruit and build a stronger volleyball group. We analyzed and we will soon be collectively choosing a new captain to lead our team next year. This has also in some ways become a mentor project for me as well !I have been able to work closely with some of my teammates that see me as a role model in volleyball and appreciate my choice in supporting and uplifting my team as my capstone. I hope that my capstone helps any student who yearns for a smaller support setting, a fun sport, an experience of a high school lifetime and keeps the importance of our volleyball team alive at SLA @ Beeber.

Jaden McClain Capstone

Growing up I always heard of community service, and I always felt as though if I participated in any form of community activity, I wanted the people I affected to remember me on a more personal level and feel as though I impacted their lives not just in the moment, but later on. Due to this, I was at a point where I really enjoyed the feeling I got from playing basketball myself, though, that is not what I see for myself in the future as a career, so I decided to coach a basketball team, for the Monarchs Youth Development Basketball League. This was a process that I was not too sure about, though once I dived in and invested my time into the young basketball players I was working with several days of the week, I came to enjoy myself and found a joy that sparked the interest that I was losing in the sport. Throughout this time I learned to become an even stronger leader/role model, as I am a person who has played in this youth developmental league, and show them what hard work on and off the court can help you grow to be a person that is on a path to success weather it is through basketball or not.

Wahmeer Parker Capstone

My Senior Capstone was working/volunteering at Outpatient Pharmacy at Temple Hospital. I particularly picked this to be my capstone since growing up I admired my sibling and observed how he helped the group being a Pharmacist. The procedure was altogether different distressing and difficult, from ]standing behind a counter for quite a long time, wearing awkward cleans, running drug to patients rooms, putting pills away, or managing an irate/surly patient or client. When I initially began I was apprehensive in light of the fact that I was the most youthful individual there, just seventeen years of age and my colleagues were from the scope of twenty-three to fifty years of age. Yet energized, I knew this would get ready and better me as a future Pharmacist.
