Osborne High School Senior Project 2017- 2018 Capstone Product Carefully choose a product or process that you can build or produce or a community-based service you could provide. Answer these questions as you decide:  Does the research enhance the product? Is there a clear connection between the research topic and the product / process you want to produce?  Does the product / process represent significant amounts of time, effort and appropriate complexity? Does it go beyond what you already know how to do?  Is the project something you will do outside of your regular class or co-curricular requirements? A product / process that you produce for a career-technical student organization will not fulfill the Senior Project requirements unless it goes substantially beyond the parameters of that product.  Will the product involve tangible evidence of your work – either something physical that can be seen and touched, a community-based service that can be documented as beneficial or something that can be written, produced, taped and presented?
