Very few of the comp-phys mini projects had much in the way of similarity to my examples so the prompt and examples for that case seemed like they turned out just right. The digital mini-projects were a bit more restricted in scope due to the limited number of different types of sensors that were available, but there was an amazing variety in the paths that they took so I think that worked out really well too. Lucky first try for me I suspect.

I was amazed at the creativity that I saw and the quality of the work (both courses). It was certainly much higher than I would have anticipated when I first put the tasks together.

“make a collision simulation using Mathematica or Python where there has to be at least 3 different parameters”

“take the input from an analog sensor, apply some electronic decision-making to this input and provide some digital output related to the input.”

Were these basically the entire prompts for the projects?

I would agree that these projects are larger than a typical standard of mine, and so now you’ve got me thinking of ways I could use something like this. I would guess you saw more creativity, on average, than what I see because of the length.
