CSC 200 Undergraduate Problem Seminar: Project

Impossible Project:
Millennium Artifact

Have you heard of the wonderful one-hoss shay,
That was built in such a logical way
It ran a hundred years to a day...

See the project report

The goal of the class project is to design and build a (single) self-contained electronic artifact that will still be functioning in one thousand years. The functional electronic aspect could be as simple as a clock/counter or even an occasionally blinking LED, but it must keep working. The artifact must also satisfy the following constraints


The class will be broken into 4 teams of 4-5 people with the following responsibilities.

1. Electronic functionality
