Call for project ideas
Scope
What we can do in the final projects is a simple version of a Web Application, that we can call "Minimum Valuable Product (MVP)" or prototype.
To think about the idea and scope to develop, we need to have in mind the following points:
What we do not as a final project:
Projects for NGO's and third parties
At MigraCode try to find interesting, tech-for-good projects for that stretch the abilities of our students whilst helping an NGO or Charity solve a problem they are facing.
Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) and Third parties focused on improve people lives are not indifferent to digitalization and start to increase their investment to technology. In almost every aspect of life and work, we can see the effects, institutions cannot be independent of this 'digital life', with new habits brought by digitalization. Every time more, digitalization is fundamental for NGOs and third parties to cover their processes and optimize human resources.
What MigraCode offers to NGOs, is a tool to improve the performance, covering manual processes done by email, in an Excel Sheet or in a paper. Like:
Look and register new volunteers and assign them
Web Page with forms that users can fill, and there is a process to do with the information
A typical process that now is done in an Excel sheet, and it is not enough
Go to List of Projects to see a complete list of proposals
Submit your idea
Complete all the required fields and provide as much information as possible.
Send a confirmation email to yogesh@openculturalcenter.org or a message on Slack to @yogi
Your obligations
Once your project has been selected by the students you should:
Prepare product specifications in detail: prepare a speech to explain to the team your project idea and vision, and all the documents, links, etc, that can be helpful for the team
Answer product questions: the team has a Slack channel (if you don't know it is like a Whatsapp for teams) to talk offline during the week, so they can make you questions about the project or ask for a team meeting if needed
Student's Project Ideas
Some students may have some ideas about projects that they would like to complete for their Final Project. Before the Final Project starts, ideas should be gathered and fully specified before the start of the first week.
A good project should:
Show all of the skills the student has learnt at MigraCode so far
Be large enough that four people can work on it for 6 weeks and still have work to do
Be something that the student is passionate about
Be innovative and could have a future use
Be interesting to employers
Solve a real world problem that you have faced in the past or at MigraCode
Submit your idea
Complete all the required fields and provide as much information as possible.

Selection of project ideas
After gathering the projects description from NGOs and students, Migracode Team, mentors and students will vote the best projects to achieve, giving priority to NGOs and social impact projects.
