Class of 2020 Presents Senior Projects Online

Our Class of 2020 ventured into uncharted territory this week when they took their Senior Project presentations online. The online format provided for 15-minute presentations (followed by a short Q&A) with starts every half hour. Four to five students presented during each of four half-hour segments, and those 'attending' chose between the presentations offered, or could pop in and out to a variety. The event began with an introduction and "Virtual Lobby" to help folks find their way to the various sessions. 

Seniors presented on a variety of topics (see full list here). Some spoke the entire time, others shared the screen with a presentation they had created. Sessions were well attended and often included grandparents, friends and other family from afar who were able to attend the online version. It was an amazing evening of successes for these seniors, who had the normal schedule and presentation methods upended by the move to online learning. For most, it was hardly a blip on the radar; they recalibrated and moved easily to this new normal. 

Check out this great video from Senior Project Committee Chair Barbara Studholme that talks about the process and honors the work the seniors have done. See a slideshow of photos (well, screenshots actually) from the evening here. Well done, Class of 2020!
