How did you come up with the Topic name?
As a team, we brainstormed and came up with multiple topics ranging from recommendation systems to AR & AI. One of the team members is associated with farming. He had a real experience of how farmers throw away vegetables like tomatoes when they don’t have proper information on when to grow when the prices are going to drop. So with the concepts from AI, we thought of choosing the best possible solution for the farmers to help them get the maximum benefits out of this solution.

Your Capstone journey/experience
The Capstone journey helped us understand how to connect the technology and the business by using great real-time use cases. This journey was enlightening and we all loved it. Our team had a good bonding, though we came from different backgrounds and we became a very good team in a short time. The overall journey helped us revise and apply the concepts that we learned in this course.
