The first annual AP Capstone Scavenger Quest and Workshop, designed and carried out by the Biomedical seniors under the direction of AP seminar teacher Dr. Nina Lavlinskaia and AP research teacher Dr. Arun Srivastava, provided both AP classes with the chance to create a large study known as AP Capstone.
Generally, a capstone course serves as a hands-on experience required of its educational program. AP Capstone, an innovative program, equips students with the independent research, collaborative teamwork, and communication skills increasingly valued by colleges and universities. The event served to inform upperclassman and future AP Capstone participants about expectations for the forthcoming grades, as well as providing students with a headstart in the AP Seminar and Research programs.
Students attending the workshop witnessed various project presentations, including “Adderall and Academic Pressure” by North Bergen resident Armando Alvarez-Suarez, “The Introduction to AP Capstone” presented by Alex Kim of Jersey City, and “Methods Used for Creating a Presentation” by Harrison residents Amal Joseph and Justin Cai and Guttenberg resident Kevin Gao.
