2. What questions do you have that haven't been answered about the senior project? This can be about the senior project in general, any components or about a presentation topic you saw or what they said. 

How many mentors can you have?Most of the presentations followed a similar format and order. Do you have to follow this format or is it just the best way?Do need to have a poster with your question and do you need to use a PowerPoint?Can multiple people have the same topic?Do you get to choose the teacher you present to?When do you start working and preparing for your senior presentation?How much of an impact does senior presentation make on your grade? If you fail, do you still get to graduate?How much of an impact does meeting time have on your grade?If you change your topic, do the hours you already acquired related to your previous topic still count?

3. What has the most important part of the senior project based on what you are seeing in the 2-hour presentations?

Based on what I have seen, finding three answers to your essential question seems to be the most important part of the 2-hour presentations. Everyone had three answers to their essential question and from those answers, they all picked which one was the best answer. All the presentations seemed to consist mostly of what your answers were and why. It also seemed important to have sources and research to back up your answers.

4. What topic are you considering doing and why?

I don't have a topic I'm set on yet, but I do have a topic in mind. I was planing to do something related to the medical profession or mental health. I plan on becoming a health professional one day, and because that career is so competitive, I believe getting experience now would be a good idea. I am also thinking on doing something on mental health because I think it would be interesting to work on and learn more about since it's dealing more with the mind and thoughts behind a person rather than their physical body.

5. What are you doing for your summer mentorship?

I plan on shadowing doctors and volunteering at hospitals.
