During daily workshops at the School of Code bootcampers would post their issues in a Slack channel for assistance. The channel would often fill up in tricky workshops and posts would get lost. For our midway School of Project my team decided to make a dashboard as a solution to help fellow bootcampers. The dashboard allows bootcampers to see problems others are facing in real-time and see which rooms coaches are helping in order to join rooms with the same issues. The dashboard was created using Express, Postgres, React and the MUI library.

National Bootcamp - Week Nine Project Brief

For your project, you’ll be using what you’ve learned on the course so far to try and improve the lives of your users. In this case, the users will be close to home: bootcampers!

To do this, you’ll need to take the time to understand your user (a bootcamper), their experiences, and their problems. What do they need? What problem might they have that your application could solve for them? How can you get into the mindset of your user and keep them at the centre of your problem-solving?

The high level outcomes from this project should be:

  • A minimum viable product (MVP) showcasing an innovative full stack application which meets the user need you’ve identified
  • A presentation, complete with how you worked as a team and a demonstration of the project

Your project application should:

  • Include a user experience created in React
  • Build a REST API which is used by your front-end
  • Be supported by a Postgresql database with multiple tables
  • Be built and managed in an agile way

Remember, you only have a few days to code a solution, so being agile is key. That means brainstorming what you want to build, and working in sprints to deliver value each time. After each sprint, you can reassess and either continue on course or iterate towards a better solution. Have a plan which is incremental steps, rather than all or nothing.
