Example Initiatives and Projects

Create a new bullet point here for a short description and a link (or uploaded file) to projects of similar scope to the term projects for this course. These may be parallel projects you have identified during the preparation of your term projects that provided a model for your proposal or that you are citing as evidence of the proposal's feasibility. The short description can include content warnings for the project and should provide enough information for us to track down a new external link in the case of link rot.
