CAPSTONE PROPOSAL

By: Andrew Garcia and

Ira Mascardo

CAPSTONE PROJECT
Our capstone idea is an app that can make studying for S.T.E.M
related courses easier by having multiple choice questions that a
teacher put on an old test or students who took the previous
class. We are planning to use MoSync SDK. The SDK enables
mobile developers to build and compile apps for up to nine
different platforms at once, using C/C++ or HTML5/JavaScript.

PASSION BEHIND PROJECT

We decided to do this particular project because we both plan to
major in either Software Engineering or Computer Science. We
had help from Mrs. Moon on this idea and we thought it would
be a fun way to get Global Students to compete, since we dont
have many sports, and help them in the S.T.E.M classes at the
same time.

BENEFITS GAINED FROM PROJECT

Can make studying for S.T.E.M related courses easier by
having 6-9 questions in each course(usually 6-8) per
category.
Learn and gain experience in app making
Helps give a head start to what we want to major in
(Computer Science/ Software Engineering)

10 MILESTONES
October 24, 2014 - Have Proposal finished and ready to turn
in.
October 31, 2014 - Finalize Capstone idea and determine
approach needed.
November 30, 2014 - Finish working on very basic
knowledge in app coding while taking notes regarding the
potential uses of this new knowledge to our app.
December 5, 2014 - Determine the difficulties we might have
in making the app and ask our mento about potential
problems.

10 MILESTONES CONT.
December 6, 2014 - Have begun coding the application we
originally designed.
January 1, 2014 - Project checkpoint. Determine how much
work needs to be done.
February 1, 2014 - Project checkpoint. Determine how much
work needs to be done.
February 2, 2015- Have all Science questions.
February 10, 2015- Have all Technology questions.
February 22, 2015- Have all Engineering questions.

10 MILESTONES CONT.

March 1, 2015- Have all Math questions.

April 2, 2015 - Finalize app production.
April 10, 2015 - Begin working on presentation ideas.
May 1, 2015 - Have project ready to present.

FINAL PRODUCT
An app that can help students with their S.T.E.M classes.

FINAL PRODUCT
Time depends on subject
Science-2008 secs
Technology-2008 secs
Engineering-2508 secs
Math-3008 secs
Score is 2012
every subject
and it decreases
by 5 pts per sec.
Every question
right +50 and
every wrong
-40.

+300 if you press surrender,

but you will also exit the
game

walking. I am the mother of four grown children. Both daughters are also

AUDIENCE
S.T.E.M school students (particularly Waxahachie Global
High School Students)
Mr.Warrens Graphic Design Class, we chose his class
because next year they have the option of taking a
Programming Class and we want to encourage them to take it.
