text: Summer projects should be designed by students because there is more room for creativity. Creativity is an important skill to have, so a student-designed project will definitely help students in that area to use after they graduate. Imagination and creativity is much more of a key factor in student-designed projects than ones designed by teachers. When each student is allowed to come up with their own idea, plan it out, and create the project with little to no restriction or guidelines, there is more room for each student to show their individuality and original ideas. Without teachers telling students precisely what they want to see when summer break is over, students can let their imaginations run wild and create something that they are proud of.
