A student group proposed a model using items that would be expensive for some households. My child is worried about mentioning the cost because everyone else sounds excited. What is a respectful way for a student to suggest a simpler design?

    Our group asked what could be reused from home before drawing an ambitious shopping list.

    Ask if the group can agree on a budget before choosing materials.

      The budget question should have come before the shopping links.

    A creative low-cost alternative is easier to discuss than a complaint about who can pay.

      Checking the budget first might have changed the whole design conversation.
