Capstone Night puts Kickapoo U on display

Kickapoo University’s top eight students presented to an audience of teachers, district admin, fellow students and community members at Capstone Night on Jan. 7.
Kickapoo U provides opportunities for relevant professional experiences through job shadows, volunteerism, dual credit courses, an internship and finally a Capstone course. Following their internship, Kickapoo U students finish the program with an invaluable college-level experience. The culmination of this work is put on display during Capstone Night.

Top 8:
- Jude Riemenschneider
- Max Nguyen
- Natalie Coons
- Hailey Hakan
- Addyson Moore
- Xander Ayres
- Kate Crist
- Nick Bauer
Each of the presentations addressed a problem the students wanted to solve and explained how their time in the program helped them develop a solution. Following the top eight student’s presentations, guests were able to explore all the Kickapoo U projects on display in the school’s commons. The capstone projects, combining research and real-world experience, is the cornerstone of the rigorous course work.
