What is a Capstone?

To me a Capstone project is supposed to be an opportunity to showcase the skills learned while in the School of Informatics, as well as showing the ability to assimilate into the use and production of new and emerging technologies. What I hope to get from my capstone experience is the ability to work in "real world" situations and been seen as a professional by my peers. Also I will be looking to gain a few new skill sets, while building upon skills already gained.
