List of Personal Project Ideas

What Inspires You? 

Think of what inspires YOU and create a project based on YOUR interests!

If you are not sure, below is a list of project ideas from past Personal Projects in Hilton.

Keep in mind, these are just short ideas. They would need to be developed by you in order to turn them into a project. You would need to think of what you could do for this to be a beneficial worthwhile use of your time as it should take about 15-20 hours outside of class. If you wait until the end of the project, your presentation will reflect that and you will have gotten nothing out of it. Try something new! Don’t procrastinate. Show the world what you are interested in and capable of doing!
