You are now ready to complete the last part of the Capstone Project. This week continues the problem solution process that began with the Discussion question from Week 8. For this week, you will explore one of the problem solutions generated in Week 8 to include in your Capstone Project. Every problem could have many possible solutions. Write about only one solution so that you can go in-depth into the description of that solution and explain the potential positive social change that could result from the solution. For this week, you will continue to examine solutions to your Capstone problem and describe one key solution.
