Capstone is a project that lets you pick a topic to research and it also lets you interview as many people as you want. The person you interview is an expert on your topic. You also have a choice of how you present. You can do an Ignite, Ted talk, or a movie. After that, you have to make a video which is very fun to make because you get to choose which site you make it on, that is just a speck of the freedom this project lets you have. I feel like capstone is a great project and it lets you bring out your creativity. 

Coming up with my topic was very hard. This is because my first thought was dinosaurs, but then I realized that I always do that so I should do something different. I started thinking about what I should do. Then it hit me! I should choose a topic related to dinosaurs, such as a topic about asteroids since an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs.

It was a very hard process because there were so many questions about asteroids hitting the earth, but then I thought, what if it hits a planet other than earth. A challenge was deciding to do this because I knew it would be harder to find information, but I decided to do what I thought was more interesting. “How often do asteroids hit other planets and what is the effect of the impact on that planet”. That is my question.

The process of coming up with my sub-questions was fairly easy since I had planned them from the day I decided what my main inquiry question was. One challenge was picking the questions. This is because I had so many that I was past the limit. I had to narrow it down.

I am very excited about this project and I know it will be a fun one.
