Many, many other reasons:
Motivation
Students set themselves challenges to accomplish. This
approach produces high levels of motivation as the challenges have
been created by them and are generally suited to their ability.
Independent learning
Students in charge of the project and only use the teacher as
facilitator encourages them to work independently

Reflection and
evaluation
At the start of each session, students place their newly created files in a
shared folder. A few of the files were then viewed on the IWB and the
class commented on the work, for example, its usability, layout, and
questions were asked about how it was created and how they would
change it to suit a different audience.
Communication and teamwork
Encourages students to work collaboratively: smaller jobs are delegated e.g. creating a layout, script to control movement, assessment opportunities to check understanding and project managing.
A demanding process and challenges teams to work through a detailed plan before commencing.
