This document provides guidance on developing a Capstone Product to accompany a Senior Capstone Project. It explains that the product should be something planned and implemented based on research or experiences, such as an invention, model, event, or other creative work. It advises students to think about why their project is important and what information the target audience needs to know to help determine the appropriate type of product to create, such as a model, campaign, performance, or technological solution. Examples of previous students' products like models, artwork, and displays are also presented.
