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

Students choose their own project topic with teacher guidance. Project types may include:

• Further Ideas:

  • Password Manager - A tool which can generate and store passwords. May include some basic security features if time permits.

  • Salary Payment System - Salary estimation for different kind of employments

  • Wordcount Tool - Script which takes text files as an input and calculates word frequency. May include multiple formats if time permits.

• Any idea that feels achievable and interesting!
