    1 - Brainstorm Ideas

    Think about what kind of information you'd like to store and organize in your database. It could be anything you find interesting, like your favorite books, movies, or even a collection of your friends' favorite snacks! Write down at least three ideas.

    2 - Choose Your Topic

    Look at your list of ideas and choose the one that you find the most interesting. This will be the topic for your Data Keepers project.

    3 - List Data Types

    For your chosen topic, list at least five different types of data you'd like to store in your database. For example, if your topic is about books, you might want to store the title, author, genre, publication date, and number of pages.

    4 - Organize Data Types

    Organize your data types into categories. This will help you structure your database and make it easier to navigate. For example, if your topic is about movies, you could have categories like movie details (title, director, release date) and movie ratings (IMDb rating, Rotten Tomatoes score).
