Capstone Showcase ⭐️

Welcome to the Capstone Showcase, where we proudly present the innovative projects developed by student groups from Temple University's CIS4398 capstone course. This course allows students to utilize the culmination of all their previous coursework and outside experience to build software as a team. This page highlights the exceptional documentation, presentation, and technical skills demonstrated in these collaborative efforts. Over 17 weeks, students tackle projects in diverse domains, from AI and accessibility to IoT and computer science education tools, using Agile methodologies and tools like Jira and GitHub. Many projects also involve hardware challenges, such as soldering and working with embedded systems. As a writing-intensive course, students thoroughly document their projects using Docusaurus. Explore these achievements and witness the future potential of these emerging professionals.

BlastPad

The BlastPad is a kid-friendly handheld gaming device and block-based coding suite that makes it easy to create, play, and share custom games. Existing products in the STEM teaching tools space struggle to balance both performance and ease-of-use, whereas the BlastPad will offer a good mix of both. Built around a small but mighty Raspberry Pi single-board computer, the device will be an all-in-one solution for learning to make games and playing them. The device will also feature a number of sensors for students to experiment with alongside buttons and switches found on traditional handheld consoles like the Nintendo Game Boy.
