Submission Required
Collaborate in small groups to generate a rich set of ideas for your animation script. Create a quantity-over-quality brainstorm log, produce 2–3 concept sketches or storyboards, and complete a feasibility/impact matrix that evaluates each idea for audience resonance, alignment with the message of hope, and production practicality. Gather a brief empathy artifact from a community partner (such as a short note or voice snippet) to ground your concepts in real needs, and select your top 3 concepts with clear rationales. This deliverable demonstrates creative problem-solving and sets the stage for iterative refinement in the next phase.
