You will get approximately two weeks to build an application that showcases what you have learned about front end development during the last three months at NSS. You must have a capstone approved by your lead instructor in order to move on to the back end. The application you build must meet the following expectations.

Thursday 12/17/2020: That last day for MVP approval - If you reach MVP earlier, please reach out to your mentor. For MVP approval, you must walk your mentor through your application. Once they agree that you have implemented all the features for MVP, your lead instructor will then sit with you and ask you to explain the code for your application. They could also ask you questions about what we have learned in the last three months. Only after approval from the lead instructor on your MVP may you move on to stretch goals!
