Capstone questions
What exactly is a capstone project?
It's the final, comprehensive project that demonstrates everything you've learned in your program — usually a working system plus a written thesis (Chapters 1–5) defended before a panel.
Can I use your source code for my capstone?
Yes — use it as a foundation and customize it into your own project. We recommend understanding every part so you can confidently explain it during your defense.
How long does a capstone take to finish?
Most run a full semester. Starting from a scoped idea with working code is the single biggest time-saver — it's why every idea here links to a real build.
