Culminating Project

A culminating project, also called a senior project, grad project, or exit project, is a requirement in many United States high schools that asks graduating seniors to demonstrate their academic knowledge in an experiential way, usually by choosing a topic of personal interest and completing it through research, direct experience, documentation, and a formal presentation. State education boards set the guidelines within which individual school districts may customize their own requirements. The intended purpose is to raise educational standards and prepare students for what comes after graduation, whether college, employment, military service, or starting a business, by developing skills such as leadership, communication, project management, and public speaking.
