Project 1: An Interactive, Freeform Board

When planning and developing projects, it is often necessary to brainstorm and conceptualise ideas across multiple locations. You will create an application to allow us to share free-form content in a whiteboard format, with multiple users able to update the board simultaneously. This should be available on both desktops and mobile devices. The key challenge will be ensuring that updates from multiple users are handled elegantly. Additions and edits may want to be displayed differently. These problems should be carefully considered with attention given to the user experience.

Project 2: Audio Websites on Smartphones

Project 3: I am also thinking about a third project, for those more financially-minded. Bloomberg has created an open-API (http://www.bloomberglabs.com/api), which offers easy access to financial market data, and we have hosted a few hackathons using this api. I'm trying to come up with a cool project involving using this api. From your experience, do you think this may be something the students will enjoy?
