Cultural Food Guide Showcase

In small groups, students present their final Cultural Food Guides and accompanying media to an authentic audience that includes readers, culinary practitioners, literature experts, and community partners. Presentations explain how the food selections and narratives address real user needs uncovered through empathy interviews and peer feedback, document the problem the group aimed to solve, and demonstrate iterative improvements made through user testing and feedback. Artifacts include the guide, digital photo essay, sample menus, and a live demonstration. The session ends with a facilitated Q&A to surface insights about design choices, cultural connections, and literary inquiry.
