text: If students design their own project they can voice their opinions on something there concerned about. Say for instance a student was worried about people speeding through his neighborhood. He could make his project about that concern and talk about ways or measures that should be put in place to prevent it from happening. This would also make the student work harder due to the fact that this is a problem that the student faces and would want people to know about that problem so that others can be informed on that issue.
