These descriptions are very short. Assuming these are the abstracts,
that's not the students' fault. The abstracts were shortened this year
to 500 characters. I struggled to shorten mine to fit this. At this
length, it's probably impossible to fit a decent summary of most
projects. It would normally make sense to use abstracts for this use
case. Maybe Google should be asked to change the limit. Otherwise I'd
like to see a custom description which describes a little further. I
currently can't comment on all projects presented.
That said, this shortlist remains useful, and I thank you for this great
jump in transparency.
