Content Introduction

The Circle is all about projects. That's why we don't have a lot of content to share, but rather project guidelines and material. For Spring 2025, we aim to review the project ideas and enhance the structure of the project guidelines we share with the students.

Previous Projects

• Previous Projects include Stack Overflow data and Twitter Data (Project Introduction).

• The projects lacked a clear goal of what the students could achieve with it.

Project Framework

Project Requirements

• Goal - Each project needs a clear, achievable goal - either a product to build or a specific problem to solve

• Structure - Projects should be pre-structured, including deliverables, so that students clearly understand what to deliver

• Dataset - Data sets must be pre-validated to ensure feasibility and quality

Project Guidelines

• We aim to create project guidelines in a GitHub repo that include a structured project roadmap and a breakdown of the complex tasks into more manageable steps.

• Guidelines should include:

  • Description

  • Technologies

  • Dataset

  • Deliverables

  • Evaluation Criteria

  • Plagiarism & AI

  • Resources

• An example we can use as a template: ML Zoomcamp Projects
