Students showcase array of talents, interests in senior projects as a statewide graduation requirement

High school seniors have another rite of passage their last year of school: the senior project.

Added as a statewide graduation requirement in Washington in 2008 – and in Idaho in 2013, although some districts have started them already – the culminating projects are designed to stretch a student’s abilities and make use of the knowledge they’ve gained during their K-12 education.

The subjects are as diverse as the students doing them: Dabbling in electrical engineering, hosting a tea party for underprivileged girls, donating art to help distraught children and exploring space travel are a sampling.

It’s a national trend, with some school districts having had the condition in place for more than two decades.
