In this project course, students bring together what they have learned during the year and build a complete full stack application with an AI-powered feature, from first idea to a working application online. Students work with a partner or individually using professional workflows: planning, version control, code review and shared responsibility for the code. They plan and design the solution based on the needs of selected users or a client, and judge where AI adds value.
Students develop and deploy their applications to a suitable hosting environment, verify functionality against defined requirements, and address relevant security, accessibility and usability considerations. They take responsibility for all code and decisions they deliver, including what was produced with AI, and reflect on how they planned and carried out the work. The course ends with a presentation in which students explain and justify their technical and product decisions to technical and non-technical audiences.
The candidate...
- can apply knowledge from the year to plan and design a full stack solution to a user or business problem
