(1) What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?

• Alex: Solar Cup, its basically building the small boats are you race them after in a competition. i want to do this because i love to build stuff and its fun. 
• What feedback did you offer when you heard the topic ideas? Check when the solar cup competition is, make sure its before senior projects end so you can compete in it. 

(2) What do you plan to do to complete the 10 hours of service learning (working with an expert) which is due prior to senior year starting?  Note: They also have to complete the 50 hours during the school year.

• Alex: By asking melango for help because she recommended it, there was two other students who did this and i could probably ask her to contact them for me so that i can ask what they did, also i plan to find someone who enters the competition, to know how to build it and how to use the materials.

• What feedback did you offer them in response? Thats good ask around ,but starting now because you need ten hours when you come back to school. Also try looking online to see if you find an expert on that field. Ask senior teachers for help , and dont wait till last minute.

(3) What do you hope to see or expect to see when watching the class of 2012 present their two hour presentations?

• Alex: Power point, to see what ideas i can get to put in my project, i also want to be able to see the person actually passionate about what they are talking about because thats makes it better.
• What suggestions did give them regarding how they should approach watching the 2 hour presentations?   Pay attention, takes notes and look at how its done so you can get ideas for your senior project. also look at how they manage there time.

(4) What questions do they have about senior project?  What additional recommendations would you give the 2013 student about senior project?  Be specific and note what you told them.

• Alex: What projects do we have that relates to our senior project.

• What additional recommendations did you give them? well we have science fair , do not procrastinate, because once you do your going to keep doing it and  your going to fall behind, just manage your time, and dont wait till last minute.
