This December we had two Capstone Showcase events: for the Master of Information and Cybersecurity (MICS) program and the Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS) program.
Capstone projects are the culmination of the MICS and MIDS students’ work in their respective I School programs. Over the course of their final semester, teams of students propose and select project ideas, conduct and communicate their work, receive and provide feedback, and deliver compelling presentations along with a web-based final deliverable.
Congratulations to our winners, and to all the students who completed Capstone this fall!
