Empathize
Students will launch their Measurement Designer project by interviewing real users about challenges with estimating mass and liquid volume, then create an empathy map grounded in direct quotes and observations to guide future problem definition.
🎉 Measurement Mania User Interviews
Launch 30m
Define
Students will synthesize their interview notes and observation data about challenges with estimating mass and liquid volume into a clear, evidence-based problem statement that names a specific user need and frames a focused "How Might We" question to guide solution design.

Ideate
Students will generate multiple creative solutions for a user-centered Measurement Challenge Day station that helps real users better estimate and measure mass or liquid volume using grams, kilograms, and liters.

Prototype
Students will build and revise a low-fidelity prototype of their Measurement Challenge station, test key tasks involving mass or liquid volume with peer users, and document how feedback leads to measurable design improvements.
