Capstone Seminar

Course Description

The Capstone Seminar course is the first part of a year-long Undergraduate Capstone in Interactive Media. The beginning of the Seminar focuses on reflection and conceptualization, emphasizing the need for a strong thematic approach and foundational inquiry underlying the Capstone Project. Design and ideation exercises will help students frame their multidisciplinary work in terms that are personally relevant as well as accessible to a wider audience. Through additional research, prototyping and iteration, students will work towards creating a production plan for an interactive work to be designed and developed during the Capstone Project course. A collaborative spirit will be infused across the Seminar through constructive input and critical feedback of Capstone peer's project development along with student-led discussions of texts and works that have helped inform their creative direction. By the end of the course, students will produce a statement of creative intent that will include the research question and relevant conceptual contexts with which they want to engage along with a roadmap outlining the practical steps towards the realization of the Capstone project. Prerequisites: Declared Interactive Media major and senior standing.
