Brainstorming a Project

To brainstorm a sketch, I’d encourage you to start poking around to find datasets on topics you’re interested in. We can always workshop a project given a dataset, but it’s often quite challenging to find a relevant dataset for an arbitrary project proposal.

You are by no means limited to these ideas and may propose anything else that would be similar to these examples in scope (requiring approximately 25-30 hours of work throughout the semester).
