Miles Prowell Capstone 2025

Posted by Miles Prowell in Capstone · Pulley/Giknis/Spry · Wed on Tuesday, June 3, 2025 at 6:30 pm

Fashion waste is a massive modern problem. It is a very avoidable contributor to a lot of Earth’s climate issues. A great way to avoid this issue is by thrifting. I recently discovered my love for thrifting and realized the importance of second-hand clothing. This reminded me of a capstone that promoted sustainable fashion practices through thrifting called the SLA Drop N Shop. This project involved getting donations of second-hand clothing from the community and putting it out for free to show how simply passing something on can do a lot. So I took this project and expanded. First, I started by reaching out to my community, both in my neighborhood and at SLA. After a few weeks of donations, I got everything ready to set up. Persevering through a few roadblocks, I was able to get clothing racks and hangers from school and set up. At first, things were slow, but as I advertised myself, I could see more and more attention. I started noticing regulars stopping by, lots of empty hangers, and people wearing thrifted clothing around school. A few highlights included one of my friends getting their prom shoes from the shop and another student finding formal clothing for an interview. In the final week, I took whatever was left and donated it all to those in need. In the end, I created a project that brought together different people and brought out the community’s generosity. I learned a lot about planning and promoting a call to action.

My senior Capstone project involved teaching a mini-course to 9th graders about strength training, while having them do exercises. This was possible due to an abundance of research, mentor assistance, and planning. I wanted my students to be ahead of their health, and I wanted to share the thrill of physical exercise with the youth. I have made several slide shows that I update regularly and plan to share with my students when my mini-course is over. I also have videos of them exercising, as well as my people who took pictures of my mini course in action.
