Andover’s MVHS ’14 students showed off their Senior Projects at MVHS last month. Senior Project represents the culmination of a student’s work at MVHS, and each senior is required to pick a topic that will challenge them and make them stretch.
Completing a senior project is a graduation requirement, and doing so is no walk in the park. Besides the product itself, the student must write a paper, create a presentation, and prepare a portfolio.
Here are this year’s senior projects:
Haley Adams: “How can learning self defense help people physically, mentally, and emotionally?”
Katelyn Ashburn: “How can people and families in a community support local veterans?”
John Bates: “How can I successfully restore and rebuild a 1994 Ford F150?”
Sam Bentley: “What does it take to build a functioning motocross bike?”
Jacob Chaplain: “What skills and knowledge can be acquired from learning the rebuilding and restoration process of a snowmobile?”
Devynne Dlubac: “How should an artist successfully approach a commission?”
Logan Donovan: “What does it take to organize a service project that can benefit the community?”
Brooke Ellis: “What is the process of organizing a fundraiser to benefit a food pantry?”
Erin Frost: “How can I effectively teach children the importance of dental hygiene?”
Kody Keller: “What goes into building an acoustic guitar?”
Kyle Keller: “What goes into creating a traditional longbow?”
Emily Lance: “What components of cosmetic advertisements are most effective in attracting consumers’ interests, and what is the process to create effective advertisements?”
Seth Newton: “How have advances in firearms made life better for the human population?”
Kyle Smart: “How can building a bench help me develop woodworking skills?”
Skyler Smith: “Would it be more cost effective to build a greenhouse out of recycled windows as opposed to building one out of new materials?”
Rebekah Stearns: “How can organizing and participating in a Juvenile Diabetic Mentoring Program for newly-diagnosed diabetics better me as a diabetic and a person?”
Senior Project Roadshow
All the Andover seniors have been invited to bring their Senior Project presentations to AE/MS for public display on Thursday, April 17, at 8:15 AM. It’s a chance for all the community to see their work, and for AE/MS eighth graders to get a look at what will be expected of them four years from now.
