**This project is for students in the Online Statistics & Data Science programme (M.Sc) only. No other student will be accepted for this project.**
R Shiny apps are being used to enrich the teaching of statistics courses (Berkmann et al., 2025; Wang et al., 2021). These apps can provide students with an engaging and interactive experience. One popular app is Radiant – A Shiny app for statistics and machine learning (https://shiny.posit.co/r/gallery/education/radiant/). For this project, students are asked to design apps that will support the teaching of a TCD statistics module. These apps could be game or information focused.

- Note that two students can take this project as different statistical concepts and approaches may be examined. In this case, the second student must pick a different statistical concept to support the teaching of.
