Objective: Students are tasked with coming up with a project idea, pitching it and coding it.

There are three main stages:

1. Idea generation

The team is asked to come up with an idea of something to create. They are also given a bank of 10 ideas that they could fulfill. They are not ordered in difficulty level, so its up to the team to identify challenges that could be achievable.

If the team seems stuck on what to build, probe them to think about their interests:

• What is your favourite movie?
• Do you have pets?
• Do you have siblings?

These will get them thinking about their interests and may spark ideas.

2. Tutors are told what the idea is

You should hear what the idea is and evaluate the feasibility of it. Consider the following

• Coding time left
• Number of students in the team
• Experience with programming
• Difficulty / programming elements within the task. (Eg: if a project does not include the use of For Loops, encourage their addition via a new feature)
