Individual UX Design Case Study and Prototype Walkthrough
Each student creates a brief case study documenting user needs, design decisions, and feedback-driven revisions, then presents a walkthrough of their own prototype contribution. This proves individual understanding of human-centered design and the school-navigation problem.
Team High-Fidelity School Navigation App Prototype
Teams build a functional mobile app prototype with interactive maps, resource guides, and revised screens based on user feedback. The team presents the final product at the New Student Experience Fair with a guided tour and Q&A.
