Interviews can be conducted in person by either inviting the stakeholder to visit during class time (2nd week) or by setting up a time after school to meet (in a public place, student safety is important). Interviews and expert visits can also be conducted via [|skype] and [|google hangouts]. Both of these sites are free. Students should be encouraged to ask targeted questions in order to receive feedback to help them potentially modify their investigation.

Students also need to invite their identified stakeholder(s) to their presentation. Even if their stakeholder is unable to attend, they must document that this person was invited. These stakeholders can then use the from [|bie.org] to assess student projects and aid the teacher in assigning presentation grades.
