Student-facing instructions
Today, you'll collaborate with your peers and community partners to create a testing protocol for your ceramic prototypes. Gather insights from feedback sessions, then reflect on this feedback to make informed revisions. Start by organizing into small groups to co-design your testing protocol, engage in feedback sessions, and use your journal to reflect on feedback and plan your next steps. Ensure your designs capture the essence of La Jolla's ocean life.
