Capstone Prep

What is Capstone?

Capstone is an opportunity for front end and back end students to build out a full-stack application of their own design. This project should showcase the skills that students have been developing during their time at Turing, as well as, create the possibility to push themselves in new areas of growth.

How to Prep

1. Prep a project idea pitch. The idea does not need to be unique or new. In fact, a great way to stand out to a company is to create an application that mimics their own application or problem they are trying to solve. As you are brainstorming, think about what problem the application is solving and who is the audience.

2. If your idea relies on ambiguous 3rd party tooling or data (ex: example an API of a critical data set), please research and verify such tooling/data exists. If it does not, consider how you might pivot your idea to something more doable!

3. Project ideas will be pitched on day one of Mod 4. Students will then vote on the ideas they are interested in working on. We expect 2-4 of the pitched projects to be selected to form groups. Not everyone needs to submit a project idea.
