Young Minds Exhibition
Present your final design solution and digital portfolio to a real audience of users, parents, educators, and domain experts. Showcase your research materials, the digital booklet, interactive website, and video interviews. Demonstrate how you used direct user contact and empathy artifacts to shape your solutions, and walk through your prototyping and iteration process with concrete changes informed by feedback. Facilitate a Q&A to address stakeholders' questions and discuss implications for child development topics such as nutrition, safety, and mental health. The presentation aligns with the rubric dimensions of user understanding, problem definition, creative problem solving, prototyping and iteration, and communication and presentation.
