Product Tradeshow Presentations: Wednesday June 6th

Location: Ursa Major
Date:  Wednesday June 6th
Time:  5:45-8:50 PM

(1) What is a product?

In PBL (project based learning), it is the outcome of your experience.  Seniors have spent up to nine months doing a senior project.  So what?  What will they take with them because of the experience?  That is the product.

(2) Does every project have a product?

Yes!  Ask yourself what you gained from the outcome of your last semester project experience.  It can't be just "I learned more, or I gained more knowledge."  It is the application of knowledge.

(3) Why should I go on Wednesday evening?

Senior projects start with the end in mind.   Does this mean that by the end of 2013, you will for sure achieve whatever your end goal is or product?  No!   But by starting with the end in mind, this gives you more direction.  

(4) Why should I invite my parents to go with me to see senior product presentations?

Your parents will have many questions about the senior project during the year.  If you give them an opportunity to see what the past class did, they will be better prepared to assist you during the year.
