text: First, Students over the summer are less interested in doing school work. If they are allowed to design a project for themselves this gives them the opportunity to excel. Students will be able to design a project that they are interested in. When they are interested they are able to have a greater amount of motivation to complete the project. Students could be able to research and complete a project that really means something to them. If a student is really interested in a from of art or music then they could keep there project separate from one who is really into sports. Student designed means that the project meant something to them.
