Post a project
Turn a real need into a project a professor can bring to their students.
You post a project by describing a real need. Practica helps you turn that into a clear brief that a professor can pick up and run with their students.
How to post
- 1Choose Post a project from the sidebar.
- 2Describe it: pick the kind of project you are creating, write the need in plain language, and say whether you hope to hire.
- 3Review the plan: Practica drafts a title, milestones with deliverables, the skills it builds, and the outcomes. Edit anything, or write the plan yourself.
- 4Add what only you know: what you do, the situation today, the tools you use, what students can access, constraints, and what success looks like.
- 5Choose who can take it on (nearby schools, your state, or any partner school) and how many schools may run it, then choose Post project. The checklist beside it shows what is still missing.
When a professor asks
A professor who wants to run your project in a course sends a request: the course, the term, how many students, and a note. It shows in Needs you on your dashboard and arrives by email, and you have two weeks to accept or decline. Nothing starts and no student joins until you accept. If you decline, choose a reason; the professor sees it, and the project stays open to other schools.
Not ready to post? Choose Save draft instead. The draft waits in Projects, where only your organization can see it, and you can save it before the details about your organization are in. Open it any time to choose Edit draft, then Post project when it is ready. Posting needs a verified organization and every detail in the checklist.
Tip
Answer the real questions in your description: what does success look like, who is it for, and what should exist at the end that does not today? A sharp description produces a project a professor would actually ask for.
