Great idea! It's a nice way for people to find work or study experience. We'll look into reaching out to undergraduate programmes.

I'd really love to see that! So much of my undergraduate coursework felt like a complete waste of time since it was essentially throw away work.

As a plus, a teacher/TA is marking the work anyways, so you might have several people going at a problem from different angles and having the quality of the work evaluated by someone who (presumably) knows their stuff.

I bet this could work well for group works/final projects.
