Work with a partner to brainstorm a wide range of ideas for your school heritage project. Produce quick brainstorming notes, create concept sketches or storyboards for both a 3D model and a documentary story, and build a simple feasibility/impact matrix. Choose your top 3 concepts and write short rationales that connect community needs to how your ideas could be built with available resources. Prepare to share your concepts and receive feedback from peers and local experts.
