text: With that being said, student-designed projects also give children the opportunity to focus their content around personal goals and interests. The project itself can be used as an exploration tool for student in what they hope to be their future career, or a subject they show high levels of interest in. For example, a student interested in medicine has the opportunity to learn about medicine; this way she has more context when deciding what she would like to do in the future. If teachers were to design their projects, it would be impossible to ensure that the interests of every single student is met, hence, allowing students to decide what they choose to learn about warrants the ability for them to learn what they love. This information they gain could deem to be vital when they decide minor things such as what classes to take the following year, all the way to larger aspects such as what careers they would enjoy. Many of the top chief executive officers in technology companies struggled with this situation. Their schools did to provide them the ability to explore different topics and careers, hence they left and decided to tackle it themselves. People like Bill Gates on the other hand were given opportunities in school to explore computers and software, he credits all his success to these very opportunities given to him. This demonstrates the importance of sanctioning the ability for students to learn about their focuses, this way they will not only learn, but understand their strengths and weaknesses.
