Do I need to take pictures of myself doing my product? -not required, but encouraged -it is easier to prove that you are doing the hours if you can show pictures. -if you take at least 10 pictures of you doing your project in different stages and display them creatively, you can earn extra credit -You have to print the pictures and have them on your presentation day

What if my product is not done by the day I present? -Bring what you have done -Anything is better than nothing -If you bring nothing, you fail. No late projects are accepted.
How will we be graded on the product? -quality of product and presentation -time management -the length to which you “stretched” yourself -your paperwork proving hours
If I don’t do a product, can I come to Day 80? You cannot present anything on Day 80 if you don’t have a project. This is two test grades as a zero. You can come and watch everybody else pass the project.
