My Dream Car: A Microsoft Excel Project
I found that my students really enjoyed doing this Excel project in Computer Applications. Students will use Excel and its capabilities, to apply formulas and charts to a subject which they find fun and interesting, their dream car. They will choose several cars and will then do a cost analysis of their selected cars. To do this project, they have to select several cars, find cost and fuel economy information on those cars, download pictures of the cars and use Excel to do a cost analysis.
