Concepts of Possible Capstone Projects

These are my concepts (roughly 11% of an idea) for my capstone data science project for Springboard.

Board game recommendation engine

Recommend games to users based on their current collection and stated interests. Also, identify prospective buyers and interest level to game vendors based on their theme and mechanisms. Data can be acquired by scraping the BoardGameGeek website.

Air fare timing

Compare current air fares to industry average air fares. Collect data over 365 days to make recommendations about the best time to buy (for this project, use 30 days). Use data from transportation.gov and scrapes from flights.google or other sources.

Automobile accidents with non-motorists

Examine accident data to identify risk factors for automobile and non-motorist accidents. Use data from NHTSA.dot.gov.

Gun laws and injuries

Possible inquiries:

A useful outcome might be to identify laws that would have a maximum effect in reducing fatalities, if federalized.
