Collaboration Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Content Expertise Effective Communication Assessment Exhibition Reflection Community Partners Essential Question Critique and Revision Submission Required Grading Required

Present your completed bows and accompanying poster to an authentic audience of peers and community partners, explaining tillering techniques, bow mechanics, and historical context. Demonstrate how physics informs your designs, share feedback from external stakeholders, and reflect on iterations you made in response to that feedback. Your team will be evaluated using a rubric aligned to user understanding, problem definition, creative problem-solving, prototyping and iteration, and communication and presentation. Invite participants from local craft organizations to observe and provide feedback.
