🗽 NYC Bin Overflow Launch

Students analyze a short set of NYC trash-bin photos, a simplified pickup schedule, a small bin-fill data table, and a quick graphing technology demo showing how bin levels can rise over time. In teams, they identify likely variables such as foot traffic, pickup timing, and disposal patterns, then sort early evidence into causes, impacts, and user needs. They draft all three required artifacts: Challenge Definition, End User Overview, and Inquiry Questions, using evidence from the launch materials and a human-centered design template.
