🧠 Parachute User Needs Synthesis
Submission Required
Using interview notes and observation data from Phase 1 (classmates, museum educators, and wind tunnel demonstrations), students highlight recurring comments about stability, spin, collapse, and airtime. The teacher models how to cluster feedback into themes and connect them to aerodynamic ideas like drag and surface area. Students create a categorized list of top user needs in their design journals.
