The Movie Recommendation System is a fun and practical tool that suggests movies to users based on their preferences or similarities between movies. Using a dataset (like the popular MovieLens dataset), this system will leverage Pandas for data wrangling and Scikit-learn for building a simple recommendation model. We’ll focus on a content-based filtering approach (recommending movies similar to ones a user likes) or a collaborative filtering approach (based on user ratings), depending on your preference. The result? A neat little system that says, “Hey, you liked The Matrix? Try Inception next!” 🎞️

Key features:

• Load and clean movie data (titles, genres, ratings, etc.) 🧹.
• Build a model to find movie similarities or predict user preferences 🧠.
• Recommend a list of movies based on a given movie or user input 🎯.
• Keep it simple, scalable, and easy to tweak for future enhancements 🚀.
  
  Use of AI:

• ✅ We encourage the use of AI tools (like ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) to assist you, but you must understand what you have built.
  ✅ Be prepared to answer questions about your code and explain your choices if needed.
  ✅ The focus is on learning and building—AI can help, but don’t just copy-paste! Make sure you grasp the logic and implementation behind your project.

   

  
  Deliverables:

• Participants must submit the following:

• 📂 GitHub Repository – A link to their repo containing all project files and code.

  📄 README File (included in the repo) with:

  📝 Explanation of their work – A brief description of their project and thought process.

  🌍 Live Deployed Link – A URL to their hosted portfolio (e.g., Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Pages).

  ✨ List of Unique Features – Highlight any extra features or customizations they implemented.

🤖 AI Usage (if applicable) – Mention which AI tools were used and for what purpose.

🔹 Reminder: AI tools can be helpful, but participants must understand their code and be able to explain it. 🚀

Description 🎉

The Todo List App is your go-to buddy for staying organized! Whether you’re juggling work tasks, planning your day, or just trying to remember to water your plants 🌱, this app has you covered. It’s a simple yet powerful CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) application that lets you manage tasks with ease. Picture this: a clean, snappy interface where you can jot down tasks, check them off with a satisfying ✅, tweak them when plans change, and toss them out 🗑️ when they’re done. Built with modern tools, it’s fast, fun, and functional! 🚀

Here’s what it does:

• Create 🎨: Add a shiny new task with a title and an optional description—perfect for those quick ideas or detailed plans.
• Read 👀: See all your tasks in a neat list, with their status (completed? pending? you decide!).
• Update ✏️: Edit a task’s title, description, or flip its status—because life’s unpredictable!
• Delete 🗑️: Say goodbye to tasks you’re done with—no clutter allowed!
• Bonus 🌈: Tasks stick around between sessions (via local storage in React or a database in Flask), so you’re never starting from scratch.

Option 1: React/Vite (JavaScript Frontend) ⚛️💻

Requirements 📋

1. Functional Requirements:
   • Type a task title and (optional) description in a slick form ✍️.
   • See tasks in a list with checkboxes to mark them done ✅ or undone ❌.
   • Edit or delete tasks with handy buttons/icons 🛠️🗑️.
   • Update tasks on the fly—title, description, or status, you name it!
   • Tasks save to your browser’s LocalStorage 🗄️ (or a backend API if you level up later).
2. Non-Functional Requirements:
   • Looks great on phones 📱 and desktops 🖥️—responsive vibes only!
   • Loads lightning-fast thanks to Vite’s magic ⚡.
   • Simple, intuitive UI that’s a joy to use 😊.

Technology Stack 🛠️

• Frontend: React ⚛️ (for building cool, reusable components)
• Build Tool: Vite 🌩️ (super speedy dev server and builds)
• State Management: React’s useState/useEffect hooks 🎣 (or Redux if you’re feeling fancy)
• Styling: CSS 🎨 (pick your flavor: vanilla, Tailwind, or styled-components)
• Storage: LocalStorage 💾 (keeps tasks safe in your browser)
• Optional Backend: Node.js + Express 🌐 (for a server-side twist later)

Option 2: Flask (Python Backend with Simple Frontend) 🐍🌐

Requirements 📋

1. Functional Requirements:
   • Add tasks via a web form (POST it up!) 📬.
   • View all tasks on the homepage (GET that list!) 📃.
   • Update tasks with new details (PUT some changes!) 🔧.
   • Delete tasks when they’re history (DELETE away!) 🗑️.
   • Tasks live in a database like SQLite 🗃️—no forgetting allowed!
2. Non-Functional Requirements:
   • Light and zippy, easy to run anywhere ⚡.
   • Basic but clean frontend served by Flask 🎨.
   • Safe and sound—no sneaky input messes 🛡️.

Technology Stack 🛠️

• Backend: Flask 🐍 (Python’s lightweight web champ)
• Database: SQLite 🗄️ (simple, no-fuss storage)
• Frontend: HTML + Jinja2 templates 📑, CSS for flair 🎨
• Optional Boosts:
  • JavaScript 🌟 (for real-time updates)
  • SQLAlchemy 🧪 (fancy database handling)

Concept:

Create a personal portfolio website that showcases who you are! Start with the essentials—your name, bio, and skills/interests—then personalize it with creative decorations and cool features to make it uniquely yours.

Project Requirements:

Your website must include at least these core elements:
✅ Your Name – A clear heading or title.
✅ Bio – A short introduction about yourself (e.g., "I’m Alex, a coding enthusiast!").
✅ Skills or Interests – A list of at least three things you're good at or enjoy (e.g., Coding, Music, Pizza).

✅ Experience(Optional) – A list of places you had professional experience.

How to Build It:

• Use HTML for structure.
• Use CSS for styling—customize fonts, colours, layouts, and animations!
• Optionally, use JavaScript to add interactivity (e.g., hover effects, animations, dynamic content).

• Ensure Code Readability – Write clean, well-commented, and properly formatted code.

   

Make It Uniquely Yours!

Once the core structure is in place, go all out with creativity:
🎨 Custom Styling: Experiment with fonts, colours, and layouts.
🎬 Animations & Effects: Hover effects, transitions, or even a fun JavaScript-powered feature.
🖼️ Multimedia Elements: Images, videos, or even a music player.
🖱️ Interactive Features: Buttons, forms, or anything engaging.

Use of AI:

✅ We encourage the use of AI tools (like ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) to assist you, but you must understand what you have built.
✅ Be prepared to answer questions about your code and explain your choices if needed.
✅ The focus is on learning and building—AI can help, but don’t just copy-paste! Make sure you grasp the logic and implementation behind your project.
