Final Project

🌟 Final Project Phase – Spring 2025

The Final Project is the highlight of the semester and an essential part of the learning journey at ReDI. The students apply their new skills and knowledge to work on one project.

Students demonstrate their knowledge with the final project. The final project is a perfect time to recap on everything they learned. The final project can become part of the student's portfolio.

🚀 About the Project Phase

The project phase begins after the core curriculum is completed.

Learners will:

• Work individually or in small groups (up to 3 people)

• Choose their own project topic with teacher guidance

• Use the skills learned throughout the course (Python, conditionals, loops, functions, file handling, data analysis)

🧑‍💻 Project Requirements

Each project should:

• Be relevant to what was learned in the course

• Include working Python code

• Be presented clearly, with a short demo or explanation

💡Project Ideas
