Your Semester Journey

The semester is designed to work like a single agile-style development cycle: you’ll start by forming your team and planning your project, then switch to a repeating rhythm where implementation and quality assurance alternate. This means you’ll build small parts, test them, and improve right away — keeping the project working from early on instead of leaving everything to the very end.

1. Build Your Crew (Teambuilding) – Meet your teammates, discover each other’s strengths, and learn how to work together. You’ll set roles, agree on expectations, and build the trust that makes teamwork easier.

2. Chart the Course (Planning) – Decide what you’ll build and break it into clear, doable steps. You’ll practice setting goals, choosing priorities, and managing time so the team stays on track.

3. Create & Improve (Implementation & Quality Assurance) – Work in short cycles: first add new features, then test and fix them. This back-and-forth helps you spot problems early, keep things running smoothly, and make the project stronger with each round.
