I thought that I would take a few minutes to reflect on what's been going on with my capstone project. I have procrastinated somewhat, but I have also made some break throughs that I am excited to add to the finished project.
My capstone project is to create an outdoor cafe for the culinary program at Cranston High School West. This is a two part project. Part one includes creating a multi-curricula project that is math focussed and the second part includes actually building the project. Either way it will benefit the Cranston Area Career and Tech for years to come.
I summitted my original proposal to Dean McVety for approval, then I contacted Jerry Auth and Jeff Goldthwait for curriculum and math ideas. They were very helpful.
I then spoke with my JWU Advisor Karen Swaboda regarding garden contacts in Rhode Island.
Next, I began researching garden ideas and planing the units that would be included in this project. This included taking measurments and pictures of the site. This project will not be implemented right away, but could be completed after the scheduled renovation of the Career and Tech Center slated for this summer.
I am currently putting information together in a clear workable plan.
