Project Proposal Videos

About Bytebase: Bytebase is a fast and easy way to create and share notes as you work. It's kind of like Superhuman for note-taking. Bytebase was described by Gizmodo as "like Evernote amped up on the drug from limitless." Bytebase is participating in the Techstars Anywhere accelerator program this winter (not yet publicly announced).

Our project needs: We'd like to develop a mobile app in react native that allows you to capture notes directly in the scratchpad within Bytebase. The mobile app would have the functionality of logging in and capturing notes. (no searching, organizing, etc. like you can on our web app).

About us: Bytebase is founded by software engineers and is based out of Durham, NC.

Our names are JoJo Yang and Yichen Yu, and we are undergraduate students at the School of Journalism and Media. Last semester, we took a course taught by Professor Laura Ruel and this idea was our final project design. This idea is a habit tracker mobile application that aims to help students keep up with their daily habits and homework during COVID-19. So far, we have completed user analysis and prototype design. Here is the link to our prototype, which we believe will give you a brief overview of our progress. I’ve also attached the report that we compiled for our final project, which goes through the different aspects of our idea, including the functionality, user analysis, and wireframes. We hope to utilize this opportunity to implement our idea and turn it into a real mobile experience, and will be an exciting project that your students can work on.

Startup business, "Uber Eats" for delivery of product to individuals in large events (like football games in a stadium).

I am thinking about a project that involves development of web-based physics education activities that combine interactives like Phet sims with some additional functionality for student input and output. I am open to building from Phet or from scratch.

College search and advising tools that help low-income and first generation students access college and careers.

I was wondering if your students would be interested in developing a javascript-based interactive visualization and simulation tool for some of our recent research papers on neural networks for embedded systems. Here is an example of an existing tool that is developed by TensorFlow ( link ). I can give more elaborate descriptions for each simulation but a general idea is that there will be a website containing 2-3 interactive visualizations for manipulating neural networks e.g., changing size, input/output, simulation parameters, etc.

The Mission: Scholarship College Readiness App aims to assist students with preparing for the college admissions cycle. Through this app, students will create a profile, fill out a survey, and be provided a four-year plan with different class, extracurricular, and program ideas that align with their interests and build a good applicant profile. The app will also connect to the website where students can book free appointments and gain access to the free resources that Mission: Scholarship provides.

"Social media" for dogs... find dogs to exercise and socialize with yours, also adoption and rescue information clearinghouse, maybe pet companies ads

"Yelp" for medications and efficacy experiences, side effect accounts

App to assist students to find study partners, especially useful in Covid times; see who has your courses or related courses and who is looking for study teaming.

From COMP 222 (ICPC Competition) we have the students take programming assignments like this: https://open.kattis.com/problems/catering There are packages on GITHUB https://github.com/Kattis/problemtools. ( Tools to manage problem packages using the Kattis problem package format. ) I would love to have a similar package to put questions on a site, accept C/C++, Python, or JavaScript solutions from students, have the web site spin up a docker image and run the tests against the submitted solution.

The other thing I could use is for moving Gary Bishop's MyPoll into more of a github community. I think the big impediment is a web interface to creating assignments in Markdown that includes Katex (latex) and Python.

Novel is a multidimensional media platform that advances public health through film. Novel functions as a video streaming, digital media, and online networking company highlighting urgent public health concerns in the local, national, and global community. As a media platform, we spotlight provocative data, innovation, and leaders in the field of public health.

We want to create a comprehensive, deployable software application to accurately assess patients who have an imminent (within 1 year) risk of hip fracture. It will be web based and involve machine learning on patient health information and scanbed imaged.

Interactive web-based training modules for new employees in the landscaping department of UNC facilities to learn the procedures for effective job execution.

Basic mobile app development (a simple app just for caregivers to utilize for check-in/check-out and location tracking of care appointments, so the care receiver can accurately track & pay for the care sessions). Other ideas involve utilizing the phone mic to detect laughter during the care sessions, use the camera to send images to family, etc.

Software to allow disparate justice records systems to cooperate and interoperate, and to provide more comprehensive information about larger jurisdictions. Now each county has it's own system. There will be a very visible presence for this project including many opportunities for students to present the resource to judicial, law enforcement and local leaders.

We want a web-based system to allow creation and execution of online elections, as well as to allow data analysis on the present and historical counts and results. The project will experiment with 2 or more teams of 4 communicating and coordinating to do a larger project.
