Budget and Design Review
We will use our STEM III budget to fund the purchase of materials for the student lounge. Here are the details.
1. Budget. The total budget is flexible. I envision spending $500 for the project but we could spend more if your team makes a compelling case.
2. Proposal. Your team should propose your plan for the budget. You may propose ideas that exceed $500, however, prioritize your design ideas so the most important items are funded. For example:
1. Paint Walls - $100
2. Lighting - $40
3. Custom Storage System - $150
4. Furniture - $70
…
3. Design Review. You should complete your design proposal and conduct a review with Stanley no later than February 1st. It is your responsibility to schedule this design review with Stanley and I recommend you accelerate this review. Provide sufficient detail for each line item (e.g., a slide for each item that breaks down the costs). Stanley will approve your plan and this is the work your teams must complete per the project rubric.
