CS in Schools Cadetship Task
For the project, each team, consisting of one cadet and one mentor, will design, build, and share an interactive project focused on sustainability. The project should be simple and engaging and help users learn, explore, or take action around the theme of sustainability. Feel free to be as creative as you like within these limitations.
- Task Duration: 2 hours

The project must be completed within 2 hours. It’s up to you how you manage your time. It's probably wise to start with a call to decide on the project, design the solution & outline tasks. As with all projects, the cadets should lead the initiatives and work.
