In this project students work in pairs to create a drawing. Using a provided graphics library, students must create a drawing whose location, size, and other parameters can be changed with different calls to a function. Students are allowed to choose what to draw, and there is a competition for the best drawings. In addition to teaching graphics, the project also requires students to work collaboratively on abstracting and decomposing their code.

In this lab, students create a basic spell checking program. Students must first add memorization to an "edit distance" function and then use the function to return a list of the top ten recommended corrections for a misspelled word. This lab requires students to use recursion and memorization, as well as to time the execution of their code. It is particularly useful for students who need practice using recursion and memorization.
