Overview
Students design and build a sleek “command center” that live-updates with live data and responds to user input. Buttons trigger updates, graphs reflect real input, and the entire layout adapts to different devices. It’s a huge step up in polish and presentation.
Skills Applied
Event-Driven Programming: Trigger actions when buttons or sensors are activated.
Designing user interfaces that respond to user inputs.
Translating data into beautiful, understandable visual displays.
Learning the basics of UX: why layout, clarity, and interaction matter.
Why It Matters:
We use dashboards every day - in health apps, smart homes, and even your car. This project helps students understand not just how they work, but how they’re designed for people.
It’s where technical skill meets design thinking, and it starts to feel real.
