# In-House Final Projects :tada:

### What are the In-House Final Projects? :face_with_monocle:
- No prescribed tech-stack
- Ideas generated by the cohort
- Should be a solution to a specific problem
- An opportunity to learn new technologies
---
### Schedule :clock10:
- 1 week of design
- 2 weeks of build, split into two sprints
---
- Each build sprint will be (up to) 4 days of coding.
- On Fridays: the usual SGCs, presentations and speaker.
Additionally, Fridays will involve sprint review and sprint planning for the next week of build. :nerd_face:

## Project Ideas :bulb:
You should start thinking about project ideas *now*.
