Students will launch the Planet Travel Brochure project by connecting with real potential space tourists, conducting live interviews, and creating an evidence-based empathy map and draft persona grounded in direct quotes and observations.

Students will synthesize their space tourist interview data into patterns and insights, then craft a focused, evidence-based "How Might We" problem statement that defines the design direction for their Planet Travel Expo booth and prototype brochure.

Students will generate a wide range of user-centered solutions for their Planetary Travel Expo booth and brochure concepts, moving from divergent brainstorming to evidence-based convergence grounded in real interview data and planetary science constraints.

Students will build and refine a testable prototype of their planet travel brochure and interactive booth concept, using real user feedback and scientific data to improve clarity, persuasiveness, and accuracy before final testing and presentation.

Students will validate their refined Planetary Travel Expo booths and prototype brochures with a new user, analyze feedback for final improvements, and present a design story that traces their work from user research to final iteration during a stakeholder presentation.
