text: Many students hold a job over the summer in order to save or just get money. Allowing for student-design enables students to ensure that they have the ability to complete the project even if they are working. Finding a work and school life balance can be hard, but allowing students to have a little control can help ensure that they can find that balance. Summer is the time of the year where many people go on vacation. Students going on vacation should be able to enjoy family or friend time without stressing over the project. Student-design is going to help them know that they can complete the project without hassle or worry. Having projects be student-designed helps students with limited time manage the learning alongside their work or vacation time.
