Submission Required
Interview local San Diego business owners and community members to surface how cultural significance shapes support for local spots. Collect empathy artifacts (quotes, notes, photos, short clips) and synthesize findings into a POV statement from the user's perspective. Generate 3–5 How Might We (HMW) questions, develop 2–3 user personas, and sketch a simple problem tree or systems map that connects cultural meaning, community engagement, and local business vitality. Compile these outputs into a concise deliverable packet that will guide your upcoming video content and help frame your research for the Define phase.

Student-facing instructions
Your task is to synthesize your research into a clear representation of the cultural significance of San Diego spots. Use your interview notes to list key insights and quote perspectives. Create a coherent POV statement that reflects these insights. Then, develop 'How Might We' questions to explore further. Create user personas to represent different community perspectives. Use these to build a problem tree or systems map highlighting the relationship between cultural meaning, community engagement, and business vitality. Combine all elements into a deliverable packet, which will guide your video content development and research.
