Projects

Teams may choose to tackle any of these projects, all of them proposed by members of the Harvard community, or, with approval, another project that solves a problem on campus. The term’s overarching goal is not only to design and implement solutions to problems on campus but to deploy them at term’s end as well. It’s then left to each team to decide how and whether to support its solution beyond term’s end.
