Physical Product (fieldwork)
The student must create a physical product. This demonstrates mastery of a skill as outlined in the early stages of the Senior Project, and 'proves' that the student successfully worked on the project. Often, a minimum amount of tracked contact time with a guiding mentor is required for this portion.
The Senior Project is meant to be adaptable to what a student is capable of doing. This means that the requirements will be flexible as well. It is up to the student and the teacher to decide whether a project meets the requirements of the class. For example, one student might be required to simply take and complete a class on how to use a digital camera while another might be asked to make a working digital camera. Both projects are completely fair as they are reflective of a student's capabilities and previous knowledge about how digital cameras work.

Famous quotes containing the words physical and/or product:
“How many young hearts have revealed the fact that what they had been trained to imagine the highest earthly felicity was but the beginning of care, disappointment, and sorrow, and often led to the extremity of mental and physical suffering.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“Whenever a taboo is broken, something good happens, something vitalizing.... Taboos after all are only hangovers, the product of diseased minds, you might say, of fearsome people who hadn’t the courage to live and who under the guise of morality and religion have imposed these things upon us.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
