What it does
A student has a project idea. You need to turn it into something doable, checked along the way, and tied to what the curriculum asks for. This skill drafts that plan. Give it the idea, the student's level, the time they have, and the learning targets you must cover. It walks through five phases. Ideation checks whether the idea is feasible. A gap analysis lists what the student still needs to learn. Planning sets milestones. Execution adds mentor check-ins. Completion ends with a defence of the work. You also get a tracking sheet and a guide for judging whether the scope is realistic.
