About this project

What you'll build: You'll create a simple calculator that estimates how much rainwater can be collected from a building's rooftop during rainfall. The calculator will use basic measurements and local rainfall data to help users understand their rainwater harvesting potential.

Why it's a good starter: This project is beginner-friendly and focuses on clear steps with easy-to-find information. It introduces you to practical civil engineering concepts without complex math or coding. You'll use common online tools and basic Excel or Google Sheets skills.

What you'll learn: You'll learn how to gather real-world data, perform simple calculations, and present your findings in a neat, user-friendly format. You'll also practice making a tool that solves a small but useful problem for everyday life.

Milestones

1. Setup & Plan

10 marks 5d

Submit a short plan that explains the project goal, the rooftop you'll use (real or example), and the steps you'll take. Include a rough sketch of the rooftop. Done looks like: one-page document with plan and rooftop sketch.

2. Core Build (Part 1): Data Collection & Calculation Setup

30 marks 10d

Submit your rooftop measurements and source for rainfall data. Set up your spreadsheet with input fields for rooftop area and rainfall. Done looks like: spreadsheet with labeled input cells and sample data entered.

3. Core Build (Part 2): Functional Calculator & Features

30 marks 10d

Submit a working calculator that takes inputs and outputs estimated rainwater collected. Include a feature for users to change rainfall or rooftop size. Done looks like: completed spreadsheet tool with formulas and a short instruction sheet.

4. Testing & Polish

15 marks 7d

Submit your tested calculator with at least two test cases and feedback on usability. Clean up formatting and add brief notes for users. Done looks like: finalized spreadsheet with test samples and clear layout.

5. Demo & Short Report

15 marks 8d

Submit a short report (1-2 pages) describing how the calculator works, what you learned, and show your calculator to a peer or tutor for feedback. Done looks like: written report and proof of demo (screenshot or tutor feedback).
