Ocean Noise Sign Exhibition

Students present their conservation signs and related prototypes addressing ocean noise pollution to Mystic Aquarium staff and peer audiences. They articulate user needs, problem definitions, and how their designs support cetacean echolocation. They collect authentic feedback from users, iterate prototypes based on input, and refine artifacts for the final school exhibition. The assessment uses a rubric aligned to User Understanding, Problem Definition, Creative Problem-Solving, Prototyping & Iteration, and Communication & Presentation.
