Old Database Project Ideas

  1. Video game interface (collects info on the game-playing goals, what players are doing / improve play
  2. Tinder: info from a dating app, sort/analyze info; Tinder is not user friendly; goals: spot patterns, get the most out of using dating apps
  3. Stars / Astronomical DB - for analysis
  4. Exercise Program - one of VC's coaches keeps all this info on paper, enters into a spreadsheet (maybe); but could include lists of players, exercises, programs, progress…
  5. Instagram DB - who you ever followed, when, when others followed you
  6. Tinder, but for Movies: among friends, find movies both would like to see
  7. VC Fencing Team (AskFred - DB on US fencers with APIs) - where does VC recruit from? etc.
  8. DB for Artworks / Museums: what works? what medium? where kept? etc.
  9. Oceanography - how depth and location affect distribution of elements
  10. Song lyrics, enter lyrics, find song, etc.
  11. Covid-related: campus policies → incidents, how effective, compared to other institutions
