text: The first reason summer projects should be student designed is because we can be creative with the projects. Majority of the times the projects are boring and require a lot of work. Having a boring project can cause students to be less likely to do it. Designing the projects ourselves will ensure that we not only understand how to do it but we also can enjoy doing it. Students would be able to come up with something that interests but also relates to the learning material to ensure we're learning also. Us being young adults means that we're young-minded and sometimes we don't understand the projects given from teachers because they don't think/see things like we would. Designing the summer projects ourselves will give students a chance to be creative in how they combine learning with still enjoying their summer and it may even help later on in the school year if teachers are able to see how well we come up with and work on things on our own. With that being said designing are own summer projects would give students a chance to show teachers what they're capable of.
