Grading Required
Students create a low-fidelity paper/cardboard version and a mid-fidelity functional mockup of their ceramic dinnerware, documenting each version with photos and notes. They conduct brief interviews with community members or shelter staff to understand practical needs, generate empathy artifacts (such as a simple persona and a quote collection), and maintain an iteration log that records changes between versions.

Lesson plan
5 steps · 90 min| # | What teachers do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Review community feedback and insights from previous interviews. (30 min) |
| 2 | Sketch initial design ideas for low-fidelity paper/cardboard versions of ceramic dinnerware, considering community needs. (60 min) |
| 3 | Construct low-fidelity prototypes using paper/cardboard, documenting the process through photos and notes. (70 min) |
| 4 | Conduct peer feedback sessions to gather insights on prototype designs and functionality. Note suggestions for improvement. (40 min) |
| 5 | Use feedback to refine designs and create mid-fidelity functional mockups of ceramic dinnerware. Document changes in iteration log. (70 min) |
Preparation (2 items)
- Prepare a workspace with materials for prototype construction: paper, cardboard, scissors, tape, and markers.
- Arrange a space for peer feedback sessions where designs can be displayed and discussed openly.
Student-facing instructions
Your task is to create low-fidelity paper/cardboard and mid-fidelity functional mockups of your ceramic dinnerware. Begin by reviewing community feedback to inform your design sketches. Construct low-fidelity prototypes, documenting your process with photos and notes. Conduct peer feedback sessions to gather insights and refine your designs further. Use these insights to create mid-fidelity prototypes while documenting changes in your iteration log.
