The Issue of Age

Ava Koepper

My name is Ava Koepper and I am originally from South Carolina. I moved to the Big Island in 7th grade. My family has been surrounded by foster care for my entire life and I actually have one adopted cousin and one soon-to-be adopted cousin from foster care! I have a passion for giving and since I am at the age of kids who age out of foster care, I really want to focus on them and help in any way I can.

Product Creation (MAR 9)

Exemplary product progress is driven by iteration as your product interacts with the world, leading to redesigning your scope and outcomes in a macro and micro scale based on realities both positive and negative. In this phase you will:

  • Present your Capstone work
  • Share your product
  • Engage in reflection through question and answer with an authentic audience

Legacy (APR 29)

Secure the continuum of your capstone product and journey by creating a white paper, Standard Operating Procedure, Training Manual, and/or digital artifact you are allowing rising seniors for decades to carry your capstone product and ideas forward. Here is where you lay the foundation to do so. In this phase you will:

  • Create a white paper to document and capture your Capstone journey
  • Propose future work
