Project-based courses are becoming increasingly popular as a way to educate students through organized software development approaches. Academic projects have been effectively driven by two well-known methodologies in this area: conventional and Agile. However, all too often, there is no organizational mechanism in place at all. While there are many different software development life-cycle models to pick from, there is no guidance on which one to use when working with children. However, the more projects one participates in, the more he or she understands which concepts get applied where in the real world. They boost critical thinking skills, problem solving analysis, and communication skills.
