20+ Capstone Project Ideas — SDG Aligned
All ideas are appropriate for Class 12 AI students using Python or Orange
🏥 SDG 3 — Good Health and Well-being
SDG 3 · Health
Disease Prediction using Patient Symptoms
Train a classification model to predict common diseases (diabetes, heart disease) from patient symptoms using a public health dataset.
SDG 3 · Health
Mood Tracker App with AI Analysis
Build a mood tracking application that uses NLP sentiment analysis to detect emotional patterns and suggest mental wellness tips.
SDG 3 · Health
Medicinal Plant Identification
Use computer vision and image classification to identify medicinal plants from photos — helping rural communities access herbal medicine knowledge.
📚 SDG 4 — Quality Education
SDG 4 · Education
Student Performance Predictor
Predict student exam scores based on study hours, attendance, and previous grades using linear regression. Help teachers identify at-risk students early.
SDG 4 · Education
AI Chatbot for CBSE Doubt Solving
Build a Gemini API-powered chatbot that answers CBSE AI subject questions. Students can ask doubts and get instant, accurate responses.
SDG 4 · Education
School Dropout Prediction System
Using MDMS and enrollment data, build a model to predict which schools have high dropout risk — helping government allocate resources effectively.
🏙️ SDG 11 — Sustainable Cities and Communities
SDG 11 · Cities
Traffic Congestion Pattern Analysis
Analyse traffic data from your city to find peak congestion patterns and predict traffic flow using time-series analysis and visualizations.
SDG 11 · Cities
Waste Classification using Computer Vision
Train an image classification model to automatically categorise waste as recyclable, organic, or hazardous — supporting smart waste management.
SDG 11 · Cities
Air Quality Index (AQI) Predictor
Using Hyderabad/India AQI historical data, predict next-day air quality and alert citizens using a simple Python dashboard.
🌾 SDG 2 — Zero Hunger (Agriculture)
SDG 2 · Agriculture
Crop Disease Detection
Use computer vision to detect plant diseases from leaf images. Farmers photograph leaves — AI identifies the disease and suggests treatment.
SDG 2 · Agriculture
Crop Yield Prediction
Predict expected crop yield based on rainfall, temperature, soil type, and fertiliser usage. Helps farmers plan better and reduce food waste.
SDG 2 · Agriculture
Soil Quality Analyser
Classify soil samples as suitable or unsuitable for different crops based on pH, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium levels using classification algorithms.
🌡️ SDG 13 — Climate Action
SDG 13 · Climate
Carbon Footprint Calculator
Build a Python tool that calculates a student's/household's carbon footprint based on travel, electricity, and food habits, with AI suggestions to reduce it.
SDG 13 · Climate
Weather Pattern Analysis & Flood Prediction
Analyse historical rainfall data for Hyderabad/Telangana to identify flood-prone periods and build an early warning prediction model.
SDG 13 · Climate
Solar Energy Potential Predictor
Predict solar panel energy output based on location, cloud cover, and temperature. Helps households decide if solar installation is viable.
