Computer Science
Project
Students are advised to make a project file on a real-world problem that is worthwhile to solve.
Before selecting and starting a project, visit local businesses and ask them about the problems
that they are facing. For example, if a business is finding it hard to create invoices for filing GST
claims, then you can do a project that takes the raw data (list of transactions), groups the
transactions by category, accounts for the GST tax rates, and creates invoices in the appropriate
