Think big!…we’ve had 3 paper submissions from the class over the years…and 1 startup incorporated…and 1 patent filed…and 2 applications that were later done by other companies…and lots of applications that got significant usage
Some ideas off the top of my head…1. Kickstarter for research2. Build a crowd-funding entity for Caltech student projects!3. Uber for EV owners (charging)4. Cloud service for the smart home5. Study faculty hiring / faculty salaries / etc. (lots of good public data)6. Build a Piazza-killer?7. Study the inequities of Uber / AirBnB8. Do something interesting on top of Google scholar data
