Here’s a clearly stated project idea

Tip: Begin with “I will…”

The posters will be printed on recycled paper.

Yes.

Yes, the project design and proposal costs nothing except time and electricity.

Yes, I can do this alone.

People in my country who are allergic to lycopene can be saved by this information.

Knowing the health benefits of tomatoes and preventing adverse lycopene reaction can improve health.

Not original: Data about lycopene and benefits of tomatoes. Original: There is no easy information about the health benefits and dangers of the tomato.

IT: Use of software to design posters. Business: The posters can be sold for a profit; mass production will lower costs.

course?3. Can I complete the poster, slides, and

the paper in three weeks?4. Will this use little or zero money?5. Can this be done by less than 3

persons?6. How does this benefit my home

country or community?7. What strong, real need does it

answer?8. What’s original about this idea?

What’s not original?

This is how to support a project idea

Tip: Answer the eight questions. Go straight to the point.

Possible Ideas

1. Are there plant products that are plentiful and cheap in your country? Are there food products that are used every day?

2. Can you find information about benefits and harmful effects?

3. Can that be a project proposal?
