Hi everyone,
Today I’m gonna talk about my Site Visit. A Site Visit is also required for Capstone. My Site Visit was in the city at the S’well headquarters. I learned a lot about tradition at S’well and about all the new bottles. Everybody there was very nice and welcoming. It was also place where I would want to work. When I got there I walked around with my mom for a little and got to see all the new designs that were coming out. There are at least one of every bottle on display. They have a studio where they come up with designs, a photo shoot room, little offices for calls and interview and many more rooms. They also have a cafeteria with tables for people to sit at. A cool thing I learned is that each conference room has a name that a S’well bottle is named, one room was called Lilywood and they had the Lilywood S’well bottle displayed outside the room. Another cool thing I learned is that every employee has a S’well traveler with their name on it where it would say S’well. I learned a lot of cool things and I would one hundred percent go back.
Hello everyone,
Today I’m going to be talking about my Capstone interview. An interview is required for Capstone. Last week I went into the city and went to the S’well headquarters. I interviewed someone name Kristin Ross. She is the SVP of corporate sales and partnerships. Kristin started working at S’well before it got popular so she was able to give me a bunch of information about how S’well grew. She also reports directly to Sarah Kauss who is the founder and CEO of S’well. I found her very helpful because she has a very important job and was able to tell me all about how S’well became so successful and how each and every employee made a difference. She gave me all the information that I need and if she couldn’t answer the question she would ask someone else who would know the answer. Overall, she was very helpful and gave me all the information I needed and more.
Hello everyone,
Today I’m going to be talking about how I chose my main inquiry question and my sub questions for Capstone. The first thing I did was do some research and found somethings that would be a good inquiry question. After I did that I met with Ms. Edwards and she helped me come up with a main inquiry question which is: What are the key factors that helped to the company’s success? Once I figured out my inquiry question it was time to figure out my sub questions. I went back to my research and worked around that. I came up with my sub question and now I’m ready to start my research!
Hello everyone,
Today I am going to be talking about how I chose my topic for Capstone. Capstone is a project that the 5th graders do at the end of the year. To begin, each person has to pick a few different topics that they are interested in to research. Eventually they have to narrow it down and choose just one topic. At first, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. After talking with my mom we had a few ideas, some of which include; Snapchat, Dylan’s Candy Bar and Hamilton. However, these ideas weren’t quite what I was wanting to do, so I kept thinking. I thought back to the projects that people did last year and was inspired by one, S’well. Before I decided to stick with this topic I thought about how I could make sure that I would be able to do a Interview and a site visit, both are required. I also had a back up choice which was Hamilton. Next, I did some pre-research and found on the S’well website some information and found a article. Finally, I had my teacher approve it!
