Prototype Iteration Sprint

In small groups, students gather direct user input from interns or mentors, create empathy artifacts to capture user needs, and develop a low-fidelity prototype (paper or cardboard). They test with a peer, observe how it serves real tasks, and document feedback to drive a medium-fidelity functional mockup. An iteration log records changes between versions and the rationale behind each adjustment, framing every choice in terms of user benefit.
