As you know, a central part of this course and lab is the development of a product, working in a team with 3 other students. We will have a brainstorming process when we can all kick around ideas. A template is provided for you to submit an idea that you think would be awesome for a team to work on. The signs of a good proposal are:
- How clearly defined and understood is the product?
- How feasible is it to be developed during one semester?
- How committed is the proposer to the product?
