In this project, you’ll use your computer science skills to design a program, app, game, or device that addresses a real-world barrier to wealth. Whether you focus on education access, financial literacy, housing support, or community health, your goal is to create a prototype that makes a difference. You’ll work in teams, go through the design process, write code, and reflect on the impact of your solution. 

📦 What You’ll Create
