Capstone Presentation Reflections

1) How did it go?
Capstone presentations went fairly well. I had all my information set up, my poster and my website made, and my lesson plan assembled so I was well prepared.

2) Was it what I expected?
Definitely not! My interviewer only spent 5 minutes on me, and didn't go through my lesson plan much. I feel like I put in waaay too much effort for the short period of time my interviewer spent on my project.

3) What, if anything, would I do differently?
I'd spend less time assembling my end product, because the judge barely looked at it. Instead I'd make a tri-fold board so that my project could speak for itself more.

"How Simple Ideas Lead to Scientific Discoveries" Reflections

I really liked the video that we watched in class, a TED talk by Adam Savage entitled "How Simple Ideas Lead to Scientific Discoveries." It was eye-opening to see how famous scientists made the discoveries that changed the world and made me think about how important it is to be curious and innovative. I loved the animation and graphics in the video as well, they really helped convey Savage's speech in a relatable way.

Website Navigation

My navigation bar on my website is going to be located on the top of the website. It will include the tabs: "Home", "Overview", "Symptoms", "Treatment", and "About the Project".
On my "Overview" page I'll include a brief overview about PPD and it's statistics.
On the "Symptoms" page, I will write about the common symptoms of postpartum depression and of the prevalence of these symptoms. 
On the "Treatment" page, I will write about the known treatment options of postpartum depression in depth, as well as link to other research done on postpartum depression. 
On my "About the Project" page, I will give insight into why I am making this website, why I chose the topic that I chose, and how to contact me, the author. 
If the visitor would like to return to the homepage, there will be a tab at the navigation bar on the top of the site entitled "Home" that they can click that will take them back to the homepage.
