An RFID Audio Player
I chose it because it can be used for many purposes such as entertainment or education.
I plan to use it personally by programming the RFID cards to contain my favorite sound clips, also I plan to add RFID stickers to the toys of my sister's daughter "Lina" to tell stories or to play animals' sounds, letters, ...etc. A lot of ideas can be applied using this amazing device ^^
Here are the projects that I inspired the idea from:

2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
It works simply by placing an RFID card on the reader to play a particular audio clip from an SD card.
3- Sketch your project: You may use pen and paper or a simple sketching tool like Microsoft Paint or Photoshop

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
