Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

Does Weather Affect Music

This project explores the relationship between weather conditions and online music consumption behaviors. The primary objective is to determine how changes in weather, such as temperature fluctuations, precipitation, and seasonal variations, influence the type and frequency of music streamed on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. By analyzing data on music listening habits correlated with local weather patterns, the project aims to uncover potential trends that could inform the development of more dynamic and context-aware music recommendation systems.
