Final Project Brainstorm

While I provide a number of sample final project ideas, I want to allow all of you the opportunity to come up with your own final project to work on. You can work alone, or in a group to do this brainstorming exercise.

Note that this exercise is optional. If you don’t want to propose a new final project idea, you don’t have to.

To start, skim through the project ideas in the Final Project Module. You must come up with a final project idea that is different from any of those already listed.

To be suitable as an ICS 314 Final Project, your idea must satisfy at least the following three basic criteria:

  1. Use Meteor, React, Semantic UI, GitHub Hosting.
  2. Provide some sort of “special sauce”. For example, each user, after registering and logging in, has some individual state that affects how the application interacts with them.
  3. Be oriented to the needs or interests of the UH Manoa community. (Unless you are proposing your HACC project).

If you want to propose to continue your HACC project as your ICS 314 Final Project, then please read Basing your final project on your HACC challenge solution. If you are comfortable with those constraints, then you can write an essay describing what your team is working on for HACC and how it satisfies the first two criteria.

To propose your idea, you or your group must write and post an essay to one of your group member’s professional portfolios.

First, decide which one of you will be the “scribe”. That person should:


---
layout: essay
type: essay
title: "Final Project Idea"
date: 2020-11-01
labels:
  - Software Engineering
  - Meteor
---

Now, you (or you and your group) should write the essay. The essay should mimic the structure and content of the existing ideas:

  1. Overview (including “The problem” and “The solution”)
  2. Mockup page ideas
  3. Use case ideas
  4. Beyond the basics

You should also indicate that this essay was collaboratively written and include the names of all the authors.

I suggest you commit your essay every few minutes as you write it and review the published page in a browser.

Submission instructions

Once you have finished writing up your project idea, publish the final version, and make sure it displays correctly as an essay.

Submit your project idea by posting the link to your essay to the #final-project channel.

I must review and approve all final project ideas. In order to give me time to do so, please post your final project idea by noon on Wednesday, as noted on the Schedule page.
