In lieu of the Work Immersion, a Capstone Project may be done by SHS learners under the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The following guidelines shall be observed:
- The SHS learner may have the option to choose the topic related to his/her specialization.
- The SHS learner is encouraged to relate the project to home or community issues, and to integrate these to outside-of-school learning experiences. Hence, the project should encourage learners to think critically, solve challenging problems, and develop skills that will prepare them for college, work, and adult life.
- The SHS learner must consider the following in crafting their research.
- It should be clear to the SHS learners that the outputs would be limited to what the learners and the school are equipped with, which may be different from the research that they would like to do. It should be noted also that they may be working on a limited support for conducting tests requiring research centers.
- The SHS learner must maintain a portfolio of findings or results, create a final product demonstrating their learning acquisition or conclusions (a paper, short film, or multimedia presentation, for example), and submit a prerecorded video presentation or conduct a live online presentation on the project to a panel of teachers, experts, and community members who shall collectively evaluate the quality of the output submitted.
- Here are some examples of capstone project ideas:
- Community-based projects
- Math investigation (e.g., providing and formulating theories) which is basically more on library research
- Document analysis
- Robotics or ICT projects
