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.

—Louise Hart (20th century)
“The UN is not just a product of do-gooders. It is harshly real. The day will come when men will see the UN and what it means clearly. Everything will be all right—you know when? When people, just people, stop thinking of the United Nations as a weird Picasso abstraction, and see it as a drawing they made themselves.”
—Dag Hammarskjöld (1905–1961)
