Capstone is the culmination of students’ learning experience at the iSchool. For their Capstone projects, Informatics students work independently or with sponsors to identify real-world information problems. Then, they develop the approaches and methods needed to address these problems, conduct the research, and finally present their findings in both oral and written formats.
