🧪 New User Testing: Community Trial

Teams test their refined documentary segment, interactive digital map, and sustainable garden model with at least one new user (community member, Merced College student, or Duarte Nursery representative) who has not seen the project before. Students use a structured testing protocol: observe silently, record direct quotes, and ask 3–5 open-ended follow-up questions about clarity, scientific accuracy, and usefulness. Teams document strengths, confusion points, and suggested improvements in their iteration log.
