Dream It: Capstone Planning 💭🎯

The final term begins! You're a real programmer now — brainstorm your own capstone project, then write a mini-spec with must-have and nice-to-have features

Toolkit Review & Skeleton Build 🧰🏗️

Speed-review your whole Year 2 toolkit, then build the empty skeleton of your capstone — a menu, a main loop, and function stubs — so it RUNS before you add a single feature

Build Sprint 1: The Core Feature 🏃‍♂️🔨

Run your first build sprint — pick your capstone's ONE must-have feature and build it fully. In Study Buddy we bring the Log study session and View sessions features to life with a sessions list, try/except, and a loop

Build Sprint 2 + Debugging Clinic 🏃‍♀️🔧

Add a SECOND feature to your capstone — build Study Buddy's stats and text bar chart — then learn a systematic way to read errors, isolate bugs, and squash them

Build Sprint 3 — Add the Wow ✨🚀

Finish your project by adding a wow feature — a mini keyword assistant and a quiz — then learn to give a kind, useful peer code review

Polish & Test 💅🧪

Take your capstone from 'it works for me' to 'it works for ANYONE' — run user testing with a classmate, hunt down edge-case crashes, add a welcome screen, and comment your code kindly for future-you

Portfolio & Presentation Prep 📁🎤

Gather all EIGHT of your Year 2 projects into one portfolio, build a Portfolio Index program, and rehearse the graduation demo you'll give next week

GRADUATION: Portfolio Showcase 🎓🎉
