What’s blocking students from building real-world projects in college? (lemmy.world)
 

Hey everyone — I'm a final-year student, and I’ve been wondering this a lot lately. We always hear that “you need a good project to land a job”, but most students I know either copy from GitHub, get stuck, or just... give up. We’re doing a small open survey to understand this from both sides — students and educators. If you've ever: Built or struggled with a final-year project

Helped someone else do it (educator/mentor)

Wanted to sell or learn from real-world projects

We’d love to hear your honest experience. 🙏 It’s just 2–3 mins, totally anonymous. 📄 Survey Link – for students & educators

We’ll be using the insights to create open resources and maybe a system that actually helps. Thanks in advance if you participate — or drop a comment about your experience.

Just to add — this survey is for literally anyone who's been through the project phase in college.

We’re trying to figure out:

What stops students from building cool stuff?

What actually helps students finish a project?

How mentors/teachers can support better?

And whether buying/selling projects is something people genuinely do — and why.

Super grateful to anyone who fills it. And if you’ve had an experience (good or bad) with your project — feel free to share it here too 🙌
