+
+# Curtin Capstone
+
+Capstone is the final year project undertaken by students across all computing disciplines at Curtin University, including Computer Science, Software Engineering, Cyber Security, and Information Technology. It allows students the opportunity to work in teams on real-world projects in collaboration with industry partners, gaining practical experience and professional exposure before graduating.
+
+This year our team has had the exciting opportunity to contribute to BeeWare for our Capstone project.
+
+Meet the Team:
+
+ - Kavidu Abeykoon Mudiyanselagedara ([kavi2du](https://github.com/kavi2du)); Information Technology
+ - Callum Horton ([Stringer90](https://github.com/Stringer90)); Software Engineering
+ - Caydn Lee ([caydnn](https://github.com/caydnn)); Software Engineering
+ - Jaeden Mah ([JMah007](https://github.com/JMah007)); Computer Science
+ - Mitchell Pontague ([mEp3ii2](https://github.com/mEp3ii2)); Software Engineering
+ - Veronica Taniputra ([vt37](https://github.com/vt37)); Cyber Security 
+
+In the first semester, our team gained exposure to the BeeWare ecosystem through tackling a variety of small bug fixes within Briefcase and Toga, creating widgets for the web backend in Toga and completing small research tasks into the mechanisms within the BeeWare tools. After this, the team split off into pairs to plan out larger deliverable contributions that would add or changes features within BeeWare.
+It is these deliverables that the team worked on in the second semester.
