All About Coffee

A high school capstone project is a way for students to demonstrate the culmination of skills and knowledge gained through their academic career by completing a long-term, multi-faceted project. Students commonly choose a topic, profession, or social problem to explore and work with a mentor in that field of interest. The mentor guides the student through the project—sharing their knowledge of the field, teaching new skills, ensuring the student stays on task, and fostering a professional, real-world experience.

One student, in the School for the Deaf, chose the topic “All About Coffee” for his capstone project. His mentor is a CSDB staff member and barista who helped with the skills needed for successful learning.  Recently, the student set up a coffee cafe' within the School for the Deaf, and brewed delicious coffee for staff members.  He explained, using ASL, the method of brewing coffee and the background of the type of coffee he served.  Great job on this capstone project!
