Core Continuous Project
Your Capstone in Development
Your Main (Capstone) Project: You will build the "Virtual Travel Explorer,"
an AI assistant that evolves each month. It starts as a simple script and finishes as a
deployed, tool-using, multimodal AI that can chat, recognize landmarks, and give real-time travel advice.
ML Portfolio Dashboard: Develop a personal portfolio website that showcases your projects and ML experiments. This grows throughout the course as you add new projects and visualizations.
