This fourth and final course is the capstone of the Computational Thinking with JavaScript Specialization. It builds on everything you have learned so far and supports you in designing, implementing, deploying, and reflecting on a complete software project.
You will work through the stages of a small‑scale software development process, beginning with identifying requirements and assessing feasibility, and progressing through implementation, deployment, evaluation, and reflection. Using JavaScript, HTML, and a range of libraries, you will develop a larger application of your own choosing, while being encouraged to explore new tools where appropriate.
Throughout the course, interaction with peers plays a key role. You will review others’ work, receive feedback on your own project, and reflect on how computational thinking supports effective software design and communication. This course emphasises synthesis, decision‑making, and reflection, bringing the series to a coherent and purposeful conclusion.
This module lays the foundations for the capstone project, allowing learners to specify the requirements for their JavaScript software application.
This is the main implementation component of this capstone project. We expect this should take two weeks of learner time.

Module details
Towards the end of the capstone project, learners should deploy their working application and present it for peer feedback. After completing their own implementation, learners should provide feedback to others and then reflect on the overall process.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
