# Mini Project

### What is the Mini Project? <a href="#h.pv1zrir4kxhc_l" id="h.pv1zrir4kxhc_l"></a>

The Mini Project is the first small project the students work on. The students present their Mini Project in front of the course.&#x20;

A Slide deck covering how to introduce the Mini Project, can be found in your class drive materials folder.

### Why is the Mini Project important? <a href="#h.f5d7k4ivjtly_l" id="h.f5d7k4ivjtly_l"></a>

Students apply what they have learned so far in a small project. It is a great preparation for the Final Project and motivates them by seeing what they can achieve already.

Students present the Mini Project in a dedicated session. You can find the session in your Course Sheet.&#x20;
