My daughter's school uses the Google education platform, so every teacher and student is tied in.

Her intro to CS teacher gave them a problem to solve:

Create a science laboratory reservation system for the science teachers.

She created an awesome solution using only Google docs. They actually rolled it out and used it the next semester.

Solution:
For each school day,
create a sheet that any science teacher can update.
Left column is the list of labs:
Chem A
Chem B
Bio A
Bio B
Phys A
Phys B
Columns going across are the class periods.

She created a master schedule sheet that was displayed via Calendar view, that linked to each day's sheet.
Click a date, type your name in the periods you want for a particular lab, done!

Pure elegance!
No DB, No forms, Mobile ready, and built-in concurrency all via Google docs!

A big part of the grade was based on the documentation which she asked me to review.

My one suggestion:
Describe how someone would set this up for the next school year.

I checked back later to see how she handled the doc update:
"If you need help configuring this for future school years, please contact me."

I almost cried as I silently appended "... for a qoute".

I am sure she will grow up to be a consultant!
