Develop Digital Projects From Start to Finish

You'll brainstorm and pitch ideas to a panel of faculty and then see the project through from concept to launch. Along the way, you'll record your progress and provide updates to the class about various challenges and successes.

Each team will unveil their project at the end of the semester with a public presentation and product demonstration.
