I am gonna freak out, a week and a half to go back to school and I still haven’t figured out what to do for senior project.

What did you all do for your senior projects if any?

I have an idea but I’m scared I’ll have to work on my own.

Heeeeeelp

Are there specific requirements for your senior project? Like certain tech or a certain type of app it needs to be? In my senior year I did multiple senior projects (they were all group projects) and each one was related to the class it was assigned for.

you love cyber security?
search for a medium sized company and implement network segmentation.

I was interested in image and video processing so I chose my projects accordingly.

My first project was to implement a paper about a new technique for CT scan that will provide the same accuracy but will require less sampling, and thus reduce radiation to patients.

The second one was analyzing videos of martial arts competitions - track the fighters and identify when they make contact (the follow-up project based on my code was the actual scoring). You just have to find a topic you're passionate about.

@NickyBones 😲 wow!

@NickyBones holy shit, you did this at school?!

Back then in my final school year, I was interested in graph theory - not taught in our programming course. I implemented a route planner years before Google would even exist. That involved getting a town map of the smallish town where I lived, measuring the distance from all crossings to their neighbour crossings and then implement Dijkstra's algorithm on top of that.

Such a project was not required, but I found it interesting. Of course, I also presented that at school, which got me a small grade bonus, but that hadn't been my motivation.

Besides, I implemented a "snake" game for the lulz, with some interesting extras like temporary turbo in two player mode, direction reversal, resolution independent level design and stuff. We had a lot of fun. :-)

@Fast-Nop What do you mean by school? If you mean high-school then no, I did it in university.

In the tags of the rant it says college, which is about the same as uni.

@NickyBones ah I didn't read the tags and didn't connect school to studies. Thought you did that as high school pupil.

@HollowKitty I have a few days left so when I get to class I’ll know but so far that I know of no restrictions. Maybe something that has not been done before that’s all.

@heyheni wow thanks maybe I should definitely work towards that. Cyber security 🤭 it just seems hard and I’m nervous but will definitely give it a try. Thanks!!

@NickyBones
This is pretty awesome thanks for the example!
