" summary

Eighth-grade capstone turns into a functioning web app that ranks Austin migas breakfast tacos by measured metrics: total weight, tortilla weight and tortilla thickness plus two other scored criteria, gathered with a scale and calipers and logged in Google Sheets. Data flows into Posit Cloud (rstudio cloud workflow) to produce interactive graphs, maps, lists and profiles at tacoindex.com; project succeeds as a repeatable classroom workflow and a public site.
