5. Project Work
The aim of the class project is to create tangible and useful IT applications. The learner may identify a realworld
problem by exploring the environment. e.g. Students can visit shops/business places, communities or
other organizations in their localities and enquire about the functioning of the organization, and how data are
generated, stored and managed. The learner can take data stored in a csv or database file and analyze it
using Python libraries and generate appropriate charts to visualize. If an organization is maintaining data
offline, then the learner should create a database using MySQL and store the data in tables. Data can be
imported in Pandas for analysis and visualization.
Learners can use Python libraries of their choice to develop software for their school or any other social good.
Learners should be sensitized to avoid plagiarism and violation of copyright issues while working on projects.
Teachers should take necessary measures for this. Any resources (data, image etc.) used in the project must
be suitably referenced.
The project can be done individually or in groups of 2 to 3 students. The project should be started by students
at least 6 months before the submission deadline.
