This is an open-ended creative project with no single "correct" solution. The template provides professional starter code with working examples, but YOUR creative vision drives the implementation.
For Teachers: Assess based on creativity, code quality, and feature completeness-not adherence to a specific solution. Each student's project should reflect their unique interests and approach.
For Students: This template is intentionally minimal to give you maximum creative freedom. The best projects come from genuine interest-build something YOU want to use or share!
