# Final Project

## 🌟 Final Project Phase – Fall 2025 

The Final Project is the highlight of the semester and an essential part of the learning journey at ReDI. During this phase, learners apply the skills they’ve developed to create a personal or team project that showcases their knowledge in HTML & CSS.
