Students will engage with maintenance experts to learn about real-world factors affecting sports field design, gathering insights to inform their own project decisions while valuing diverse needs for safety and efficiency.

Students will articulate the project goals by brainstorming and discussing the vital role of the Pythagorean Theorem in real-world applications, such as optimizing sports field designs for safety and efficiency, and outline how these goals align with community needs.

Students will collaborate to brainstorm innovative playground designs utilizing the Pythagorean Theorem, engaging with community partners to ensure their projects address key safety and efficiency needs identified during earlier empathy work.

Students will draft preliminary sketches and outlines of their playground designs, utilizing geometric principles and the Pythagorean Theorem to strategically plan efficient and safe layouts as a precursor to their scale models.

Students will test their preliminary playground designs and sports field models by conducting hands-on experiments that assess spatial configurations and verify the practical application of the Pythagorean Theorem in ensuring safety and efficiency.

Students will engage in structured peer feedback circles to critically assess and iterate on their scale model designs, ensuring accuracy and incorporating improvements before presenting to the UCPS maintenance department.

Students will analyze peer feedback and expert critiques from their 'Field Spectacle' exhibit, reflect on their design choices using the Pythagorean Theorem, and predict how these insights can influence future playground designs and ensure safety, wrapping up the project with reflective journaling and group discussions.
