Final Project Checkpoint
Today’s lab is a final project checkpoint. At this point we expect you to be done with your UI and moving on to the functionality for your app. The course staff will review your progress to confirm this, and you’ll have a chance to present your idea to the rest of your lab and get feedback.
Remember that the final project has extra credit points for labs that produce impressive projects. So now is a good time to start working together and helping each other out.
1. Checkpoint (45 Minutes)
For the first half of today’s lab the course staff will circulate to check in on you project status. 20 points are handed out today for having a working UI, with 10 points for having made some progress and 0 points for not having made any. Your lab course staff will also use this as an opportunity to ask about your road map for completing the project by next week, and answer questions you might have.
While the course staff is reviewing other groups work on your project pitch for the second half of today’s lab.
2. Project Pitches (45 Minutes)
In the second half of this lab, each project group should very briefly present their project idea to the rest of their lab section.
Being able to provide a short summary of a project to another person is extremely important. So important that it has a name—an elevator pitch 1. One characteristic of good pitches is that they are short, so try to keep yours to under 60 seconds. After you’re done you’ll have time to take a few questions from other students in your lab section.
