Brainstorm and Sketch Solutions

In small groups, students will generate a broad set of ideas addressing barriers to community sustainability. They will capture ideas in a quick brainstorming document, create concept sketches or storyboards that illustrate how a chosen idea would work for users, build a feasibility/impact matrix to compare potential benefits and constraints, and present a top 3 concepts with rationales. The activity foregrounds human-centered design by considering user needs, potential barriers, and opportunities for iteration with peer feedback.
