In the technical proposal, you will make a plan for how you will build the project you are working on.
(1) Write Technical Proposal
The technical proposal is there to encourage you to reflect on how you will build your prototype, what implementation alternatives exist, any challenges you see ahead etc.
You can find a template file for your technical proposal in your project team's google drive folder. Together as a team, and with the input from your project mentor, fill out the technical proposal by the deadline.
(2) Fill Out Milestone Plan
At the end of your technical proposal, you will be asked to also fill out a milestone plan. These are the weekly todos that your team will work. All milestones together should show a clear path towards the final prototype.

Grading
For grading, we will take the following into account:
Does the plan to build the prototype cover all the details of the implementation?
How well did the team justify the particular implementation?
Did the team consider other options in detail and showed that they reflected on alternative options?
Is the minimum viable product really the minimum or are there still additional parts that could be left out?
How much potential do the future extensions for this project have?
Is the component list complete and did the team reflect in detail which components they need and why?
How well is the milestone plan done, are the todos properly distributed across the different weeks or are time-intensive tasks all done in one week?
Are the milestones covering all aspects of what needs to be build or were things forgotten?
