Francesca Maimone Capstone 2025

At Science Leadership Academy, the core values of inquiry, research, collaboration, presentation, and reflection serve as a guide for every student’s education and experience. When senior year started and it came time to develop a capstone that represented who I am, it felt natural and inspiring. For my capstone project, I created an after-school program at SLA where students could learn how to produce music and gain basic knowledge of the business side of the music industry. Classes ranged from Q&As to complete walk-throughs of creating a beat. During the last class, I had a guest speaker come in to share his years of industry experience with the students, motivating and inspiring them to persevere.
