I need to use multimedia elements for a 'Design a Room' project. This project is aimed at 8th grade geometry students. Students will have to make buying decisions based on a given budget. They can buy any thing they want, but the limiting factor will be money. They can paint the walls too.

Is there any freeware/shareware or web-based tools that allows students to build a room? Basically, this projects should encourage students to use multimedia. Thanks for your suggestions.
