+## Projects
+
+Students are required to complete a project at the end of [Core CS](README.md#core-cs) and at the end of [Advanced CS](README.md#advanced-cs).
+
+For Core CS, students have two options:
+- They can use the Capstone course at the end of [Core applications](#core-applications) as their Core CS Project, in which case they are not required to share their project code.
+- They can skip that Capstone project and make their own project, in which case they *are* required to share the project code.
+
+For the Advanced CS Project (also known as the Final Project), students again have two options:
+- They can take one of the Specializations under [Advanced applications](#advanced-applications), all of which include Capstone Projects. Students *must* share their project code unless the course's honor code forbids it.
+- They can create their own Final Project, and must share the project code to be evaluated by the community.
