The module will span two trimesters. In the first trimester there will be a series of project meetings to formulate project ideas. Where possible, the school's entrepreneur in residence will contribute, along with the student futures team. Each team will investigate a suitable application, develop a business model and engineer its requirements. The second trimester of study will involve design, development, testing and delivery of the application. The delivery could be a presentation at a student conference, an upload to an online market or submission to a competition such as Dare to be Digital or Google's Summer of Code. Depending on the timescales, the competition may be internally judged.
