Learning Journey Projects
Students progress through increasingly complex budget planning applications, building real-world skills semester by semester.
Personal Expense Tracker
Students create their first budget application using basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The project focuses on input validation, local storage, and simple data visualization. Braelee's expense tracker helped her identify 0 monthly savings opportunities she hadn't noticed before.
Family Budget Dashboard
Building on foundational skills, students develop multi-user budget applications with category management and basic reporting. Projects include data export features and responsive design principles. The complexity increases as students work with APIs and database concepts.
Small Business Financial Planner
Advanced projects tackle business scenarios with cash flow predictions, invoice management, and tax planning features. Students learn to handle complex data relationships and implement security best practices. Real business owners often request demos of these applications.
