Students will be divided into pairs and given a $1000 budget (imaginary) to create a project focusing on their area of interest within the school curriculum that will include a culminating audio/visual presentation. They must write an accompanying research paper with a works cited page and two budgets: one including all school resources that they utilized, and another that does not assume the use of ANY school resources: no computers, projectors, printers, whiteboards etc. Students will explore both the basics of writing a research paper and utilizing presentation software to display their research. They will also develop a list of products for budget technology and make it available to educators on a webpage.
