I don't think anyone any of my friends are doing it but if I do find out some info from people I may be able to explain more.

You get into a class which has an overall topic, there are 6 different ones for my school. You write a 15 pages report about a specific topic that you choose yourself, related to the overall topic and then you also hold a ~1 hour presentation about it.
