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.

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?
