Final "exam"

For those of you who teach and work with 8th graders that move on to
another school for high school -

Next year we are adding 8th grade. I've been tasked with the job of
creating an "exam" for each semester in technology (it is separate
class). This goes against my every fiber, but I thought I would try.
It doesn't have to be a paper/pencil test per se, but could be a project
or a set of skills to demonstrate during the last couple weeks of the
semester. At this point, I can't even begin to visualize what this
would look like nor would I know what the essential skills are that they
need to move on to high school.

Does anyone else do this? Any suggestions?
