Join us as we hear from MIDS students discussing their capstone projects. Capstone projects engage our students in a year-long partnership with a non-academic stakeholder and at least one Duke researcher with expertise relevant to the problem being solved. MIDS students join capstone partnerships their second year and make substantial contributions to these real, complex projects. Although students work collaboratively, each MIDS student must achieve a specific outcome of interest for the partner and give a final presentation with an accompanying white paper.
