Define Creature Purpose

Students frame their creature’s design by developing a user-centered problem definition. In small groups, they craft a Point-of-View (POV) statement for their creature, generate How Might We (HMW) questions to explore design directions, create user persona profiles representing ecosystem stakeholders (predators, prey, plants, and humans), and construct a simple problem tree or systems map illustrating core ecological constraints and interactions guiding their creature’s adaptations.
