The Capstone Project | Jenn Poggi | TEDxAllendaleColumbiaSchool

This talk addresses the gripping fear most people face when confronted with a blank screen (or canvas, or page, or road ahead), as experienced through the lens of the senior capstone project.

She came to RIT following four years at the White House where she served as a picture editor and deputy director of the Photo Office. Previously, Jenn worked for the Associated Press in New York, U.S. News and World Report in Washington, D.C., and was a John S. and James L.

just the right speech i needed to hear for my upcoming capstone hurdle

[@JenniferPChung]

Yes. First drafts will never be perfect and that is perfectly okay. I don't actually know what my capstone project will be about but I am very excited to find out. Because when I do, it would mean that I have made SO much progress that my younger self did not think was possible. That's a win for me. It was really nice to hear that from someone else. So thank you for doing this TED talk.

I am struggling with fear coming from confusion as I don't understand the process of a capstone and I don't like writing in an academic style. I feel paralyzed.

Fun.

Poor audio quality

[@Nostra.Damus14]

Is this the only ted talk youtube video that does not have transitions or any camera movement at all?
