Students will engage in collaborative group discussions to synthesize their research into a concise problem statement, identifying key issues in government policy that affect their local community and proposing actionable solutions based on divergent viewpoints and reliable evidence.

Students will participate in collaborative brainstorming sessions to develop innovative proposals for government policy changes, using diverse perspectives and critical thinking skills to address real-world issues impacting their local community and wider society.

Students will collaboratively develop and build testable models or policy proposals that address identified governmental challenges, integrate peer feedback, and prepare for a class exhibition to demonstrate their prototypes' potential impact.

Students will present their proposed government policy changes, backed by thorough research and critical analysis, to the class, simulating a stakeholder meeting where they will validate their solutions and receive feedback on their impact as engaged citizens.
