Students have just come off a month off non stop testing and studying, they don't need to be weighed down by the fact that they have a difficult project they have to do, on top of a summer job or other responsibilities students get over the summer. Students have earned a period to destress and a student designed summer project could help with that, because they could knock it out in a day and be free for the rest of the summer.
