Overview:
The Capstone Project & Reflections module is the culminating stage of the Pre-Colonial Kemet/Afrikan History course, where learners apply their knowledge from the previous three modules to a comprehensive project. Participants will choose a topic related to Kemet/Afrikan history, culture, or economics, and develop a creative or research-based project that reflects their understanding of pre-colonial Kemet/Afrikan civilizations.
