Final Clean-Up Kit Exhibition
Students in project teams present their refined DIY clean-up kits to a real audience that includes community partners, local stakeholders, and domain experts. Each group shares the design solution, highlights user research and empathy artifacts gathered during fieldwork, demonstrates the kit prototype and its practical workflow, and shows how feedback from bi-weekly partner reviews informed iteration. Presentations are delivered as live virtual events, supported by digital portfolios and multimedia demonstrations, followed by a Q&A with experts to deepen understanding of environmental impacts across diverse communities. The assessment aligns with the rubric dimensions: User Understanding, Problem Definition, Creative Problem-Solving, Prototyping & Iteration, and Communication & Presentation.
