DHF Guide 1:Understanding Your Project Types on The DHF Dashboard

📘 Guide 1: Understanding Your Project Types

As a 3MTT fellow, your training tracks (such as DevOps, Data Science, Data Analysis, Software Development, and AI/Machine Learning) feature two main categories of projects. Knowing the difference will help you submit your work correctly. 

1. Lab ProjectsThese are technical, hands-on programming tasks executed directly inside an integrated virtual environment on your dashboard. There are three types of virtual labs: 

• Linux Lab: Used for command-line and server tasks (fastest loading time). 
  
  
• VS Code Lab: A virtual code editor environment for building apps and scripts. 
  
  
• Jupiter Lab: Used primarily for Python programming and data analysis notebook tasks. 
  
  

2. Non-Lab ProjectsThese projects do not require an internal virtual environment. Instead, you will build your solutions externally and submit them using one of the following methods depending on your track: 

• File Upload: Uploading specific files or documentation (e.g., UI/UX design paths). 
  
  
• GitHub Repository Link: Submitting a URL to your public codebase (common in Software Development or ML). 
  
  
• Video Link Submission: Submitting a public link from YouTube or Google Drive showing your project in action (common in 3D Animation).
