What middle schooler wouldn't want to design their own dream room? This project walks them systematically through the steps of calculating wall area, purchasing paint and carpet, designing a ceiling pattern, hanging shelves for storage, shopping for furniture, and managing all of the costs. Along the way they calculate areas, compute budgets, convert measurement units, and create a pattern.
