  • A sentence or two about why you enrolled in this class

Project. The post should also include:

  • A link to the project you have chosen
  • An image of the project
  • Credit to the creator of the project. Identify the person or team who created the project and provide a little information about them
  • A paragraph that describes the project. In your paragraph, you should identify the computational method(s) that were used in the project and reflect on why you find it compelling.
