CS Capstone
Many students who pursue a B.S. in Computer Science or Computational Media from Georgia Tech complete their studies with a culminating software design project. With these projects, students apply the development and design skills they have learned throughout their studies to create software solutions for real-world problems. Along the way, they also strengthen their professional and technical communication skills, preparing them for success in the software industry.
Often, these projects are led by clients within the Georgia Tech community or in professional industries beyond campus. Clients serve as professional advisors, guiding students in the realization of their vision while providing valuable industry context and experience.
About the Course
The Georgia Tech Computer Science (CS) Capstone course is currently being transformed to equip our students to meet the evolving expectations of computing professionals. The CS Capstone is now a single-semester course focused on project design and implementation, supported by a new prerequisite course, CS Professional Communication and Design. The prerequisite course equips students with the communication and collaboration skills needed to work effectively with clients, define a clear project vision, and scope features that have meaningful user impact. In the CS Capstone course, students will move quickly into designing, building, and presenting their solutions.
At the conclusion of the semester, students will showcase their projects at the public-facing CS Capstone Expo, where clients, students, faculty, and community members are invited to attend.
Upcoming Event
The next Expo will be held on Monday, April 27 at the Georgia Tech Exhibition Hall from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Drop in to meet student teams, see live demos, and learn about the ideas they’ve been building all semester. Projects range from startup concepts to industry-sponsored collaborations, showcasing the breadth of innovation happening in our programs.
Industry professionals, alumni, faculty, staff, and community members are all welcome!
We also invite volunteers to help evaluate projects and provide feedback to students. No prior judging experience is required, and guidance will be provided. If you’d like to participate in this way, you can indicate your interest when you RSVP.
Please RSVP by Friday, April 17.
