General Guidelines For Individual Capstone Projects
• The project must involve a technical component using IBM Cloud Services
• IBM Cloud guidance/ enablement session to be provided at the start of the Capstone project
• Project must be related to either AI OR CyberSecurity
• Refer to the specific AI and CyberSecurity guidance in the subsequent slides
• Project must be able to demonstrate elements of cost-effectiveness (e.g., efficient use of IBM Cloud
credits)
• Use of Design Thinking frameworks preferred
• Touchpoints with Infinite Learning instructors/ mentors:
• A framework/ strawman of the project to be shared with the local instructors by the end of week 1
(June 2-30th), to seek guidance and approval to 'go ahead’
• ‘Pit stops’ Zoom sessions will be set up in week 2 or 3 to answer any questions that students may
have
• Final Project needs to be presented to instructors on the final week, for grading
• A ‘pass’ is needed for this capstone project in order for students to graduate successfully from our 5-
month Kampus Merdeka program
Patterns offer up complete solutions to problems that developers face every day. Patterns leverage multiple
technologies, products, or services to solve issues that our developer advocates have recognized as common
use cases across multiple industries. The capstone project would leverage Data & AI patterns to solve a
problem through a working code within 5 weeks.

2) Can use open-source packages, however, it should include at minimum 2 data & AI services from IBM cloud.
3) Students should be able to document and share a working code that can be executed independently using
the documentation or automated script/help file.
4) All codes need to be made available on GitHub with pull access to the instructor.
5) While evaluating project ideas, preference should be given to original ideas rather than the complexity of
the project.
Example -1
Customer care chatbot for a travel and tour operator that can answer.
- FAQ on tourist places in Indonesia and there opening and closing time.
- Provide a sentiment score based on a review of those places.
- Create a custom itinerary based on user-provided constraints.
Pattern code: Enhance customer helpdesks with Smart Document Understanding using the Watson Assistant
search skill.

using-search-skill/
Dataset – General info on tourism data on the internet.
Example -2
Create an automated loan approval application –
- Leverage Machine Learning model for loan risk assessment.
- Document every transaction using the IBM AI fact sheet/Explainable AI.
- Build an application interface for the loan manager /loan requester explaining the decision.
Pattern Code: Create a web-based intelligent bank loan application for a loan agent
