PROJECTS
Developing projects which are NOT classroom assignments is necessary to demonstrate your passion, curiosity, and resourcefulness to potential employers. Outside the classroom, projects should leverage technologies and topics which are aligned with your post-graduation career goals.
It is highly recommended to complete 1 project a year.

Classroom Projects

Programming projects assigned by a professor within an enrolled course at Lehman College. They can be group/team projects or individually assigned projects. Learn about showcasing your classroom projects on GitHub.
