Step 1 - Capstone Ideas
Our team briefly discussed our capstone ideas and it seems like we have a few common elements. One is that we want to help people or solve a problem. Many of our ideas focused on the consumer side of development and we had a lot of ideas focused around teaching people a useful skill or trying to make a person's life easier.
One idea that stood out to me was some kind of interactive learning program that teaches kids how to program. Nobody would doubt that the ability to code is a useful skill and the earlier a child learns these skills, the better off they will be if they decide to go into the tech field. Even if they choose a different profession, the problem solving and critical thinking skills they develop will be invaluable regardless of their chosen vocation.
Step 2 - Update
This week was the first time I was able to meet with my team. I honestly couldn't be happier. Everybody seems capable, driven, and most importantly, easy to work with. Like any new kid I was a little worried that I would not fit in because either I did not like them or they did not like me but I do not see us having that problem. We are pretty much in sync on a lot of ideas and when we disagree, it is all in the interest of producing the best result.
As for capstone ideas, we went over the possibilities of what we want to do but we have not started working too much on that. This is not something I am worried about as we still have a fair amount of time to work on it and I am extremely confident that we will not have any difficulty tackling any challenges sent our way.
