Overview

Your "Summative Project" is intended to give you an opportunity to display ALL the skills you've acquired over the semester and thus is individual work. Think of it as a in-class product-driven "final exam" that reviews all aspects of the course, but is open book, and lasts two weeks instead of a couple of hours. Use previous concepts of the course to demonstrate learning.

PART A - Proposal

Fill out the google form with your project proposal

PART B - Product

The completed project, or pictures/video of the project (e.g. computer, robot, circuit, web site, program, etc.) as appropriate for your project

PART C - Reflection

Include a reflection (either google docs or slideshow and/or video and/or canva):

1) What you attempted

2) What it included (material/parts/software)

3) How you build/did it

4) What did you learn?, Did you accomplish the task?, etc.

5) Relevant references - web references/youtube links etc... if necessary

Summative Options

A) Hardware

• • Find some aspect of the hardware we did in the course that interests you.

  • examples: 

    • build a computer with a certain specification - make an entry on your google site with the build info

    • get a 3d printer working and use it

    • try overclocking a cpu or gpu to a specific end or have the hardware do something specific (e.g. tweak it to be a crypto miner)

B) Networking

• Find something to do with networking that excites you

• set up a router with alternative firmware with custom network settings (e.g. QoS, ports being opened/closed, port forwarding)

• set up a small network with various subnets

• try some penetration tutorials and test your whitehat hacking skills on a computer (there are various 'hackathon computers' on the internet too)

• try following encryption/decryption techniques and/or tutorials

C) Electronics

• • Try creating some circuits that do something specific (e.g. moisture sensor, time of day alarm clock, motion sensor/blinking  LED

  • Try fixing something broken

  • Try a soldering project (e.g. 9V LED flashlight)

  • Use an arduino kit to some end

D) Robotics

• Try creating a robot to do something specific (e.g. a cellphone driven mobile robot)

• Get a group and create a robot challenge and have the separate members compete in the challenge
